Advancing IR in Underserved Regions: Interventional Radiology Simulation Near and Far
Semin intervent Radiol 2023; 40: 419-426 DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1775723Simulation facilitates learning by imitating real-world systems or processes utilizing educational tools and models. Various fields, including business, aviation, and education use simulation for training. In healthcare, simulation provides trainees opportunities to develop procedural skills in a safe environment, building their understanding through hands-on interactions and experiences rather than passive didactics. Simulation is classified into low, medium, and high fidelity, based on how closely it mimics real-life experience. Its use in education is a...

Endobronchial Migration of a POD Packing Coil Following Embolization of a Pulmonary Artery Pseudoaneurysm
Semin intervent Radiol 2023; 40: 407-410 DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1774408The authors report a case of endobronchial migration of a POD packing coil following embolization of a pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm in a patient with cavitary tuberculosis and its successful management by bronchoscopy-assisted removal of the coil. Coil migration may be secondary to continued cough and persistence of a bronchial to pulmonary artery fistula from tuberculous infection and inflammation.

Demonstrating the Value of Interventional Radiology
This article investigates the meaning of value in healthcare and identifies specific services delivered by interventional radiologists that have accrued evidence that they meet criteria for high-value services. Recognizing the shift in reimbursement to high-value care, it is imperative that interventional radiology (IR) develop the evidence needed to articulate to all relevant stakeholders how IR contributes value to the system.

Communicating with Your Department Chair: A Primer on How to Advocate for Your IR Section
Semin intervent Radiol 2023; 40: 399-402 DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1775719Many interventional radiologists express concern about communicating their practice needs to their radiology department chairs. As a result, they may have difficulty getting support for hiring of additional physicians and staff, capital investments in equipment, and marketing of IR services. Some perceive that chairs have a preference for diagnostic radiology initiatives over interventional and want to know why. More importantly, they want to know how to approach their chair and succeed in their advocacy for IR. The key to success is understanding the pers...

Government Relations and Interventional Radiology
Semin intervent Radiol 2023; 40: 395-398 DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1772813Health care policy in the United States is made by nonphysician lawmakers and government employees. Through advocacy and lobbying, physicians have an opportunity to be involved in the process. Interventional radiologists (IRs) are the experts on issues related to IR. Government relation offers IRs the opportunity to engage with members of Congress, officials in Federal and State agencies, and State legislators to inform and influence their decision making. The Society of Interventional Radiology PAC (SIRPAC) is the only PAC to represent the interests of in...

Recanalization of Proximal Fallopian Tube Obstruction in the Treatment of Infertility
Semin intervent Radiol 2023; 40: 379-383 DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1771042Infertility affects approximately 15% of patients worldwide, with up to 40% of cases attributed to tubal disease, and up to 25% of those being proximal fallopian tube obstruction (FTO). Evaluation of tubal patency can be performed via laparoscopic chromopertubation, hysterosalpingography, or hysterosalpingo-contrast-sonography (HyCoSy). In patients with proximal tubal obstruction, fallopian tube recanalization (FTR) can result in up to 100% technical success rate with pregnancy rates of 12.8 to 51%. More pregnancies occur when oil-soluble contrast media ar...

Evaluation and Medical Management of Chronic Pelvic Pain
Semin intervent Radiol 2023; 40: 372-378 DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1770715Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a challenging condition affecting an estimated 15% of females in the United States. Multiorgan system dysfunction results in the complex clinical pain presentation. Similar to other chronic pain syndromes, CPP is influenced by biopsychosocial factors and requires a multimodal approach for optimal pain management. This review summarizes the clinical evaluation and medical management of CPP with a comprehensive approach.
