Updates on Preprocedural Evaluation and Patient Selection for Prostatic Artery Embolization
The objective evaluations commonly include measurement of prostate specific antigen, postvoid residual volume, and uroflowmetry as well as urodynamic studies in selective patients. Imaging evaluation may include computed tomography angiography or magnetic resonance angiography, elucidating prostate volume, prostate gland morphology, vasculature, and prostate cancer. With evolving knowledge on PAE, we aim to discuss patient evaluation and selection based on updated evidence and discuss specific scenarios.

Antibiotics Tubes and Lines
Semin intervent Radiol 2022; 39: 421-427 DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1758080Antibiotic prophylaxis in interventional radiology (IR) is widely used; however, such practice is based on data from the surgical literature. Although published guidelines can help determine the need for prophylactic antibiotic use in the patient undergoing percutaneous procedures, local practice patterns often dictate when such medications are given. In this article, the current state of periprocedural antibiotic use in commonly performed IR procedures (i.e., tube and catheter placements) is presented.

Oncopharmacology in Interventional Radiology
Semin intervent Radiol 2022; 39: 411-415 DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1758076The broad scope of malignancies treated in interventional oncology is mirrored by the breadth of oncotherapeutics, drugs used to treat cancer. Many of these treatments are administered endovascularly, though a group of therapies can be delivered percutaneously. Perhaps the best taxonomy of oncotherapeutics is based on their biological inactivity or activity and the mechanism by which they interact with treated and targeted tissues. As the fields of interventional oncology and oncotherapeutics continue to grow and expand, this framework may provide a more o...

Oncologic Interventions: Periprocedural Medications
Semin intervent Radiol 2022; 39: 406-410 DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1758079Significant advances in ablative and endovascular therapies have allowed interventional radiology to play a substantial role in the management of patients with malignant neoplasms. The evolution of these procedures and the optimization of patient outcomes and experience must take into account various elements of the periprocedural period. Some of the most important considerations within the periprocedural period are the pharmacologic agents used to avoid infectious complications, decrease pain, and manage side effects. In this article, we discuss some of t...

Drug-Eluting Stents
Semin intervent Radiol 2022; 39: 400-405 DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1758078Endovascular revascularization strategies have advanced tremendously over the years and are now often considered first line for treatment of peripheral arterial disease. Drug-eluting stents (DESs) have been developed as one of the tools to overcome the limitations of elastic recoil and neointimal hyperplasia observed with balloon angioplasty and bare metal stents. While these stents have been extremely successful in coronary revascularization, they have not translated as effectively to the peripheral arteries which differ in their unique mechanical environ...

A Brief Review of Thrombolytics for Venous Interventions
Semin intervent Radiol 2022; 39: 394-399 DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1757318Anticoagulation continues to be the mainstay of therapy for the management of venous thromboembolism. However, anticoagulation does not lead to the breakdown or dissolving of the thrombus. In an acute pulmonary embolism, extensive thrombus burden can be associated with a high risk for early decompensation, and in acute deep venous thrombosis, it can be associated with an increased risk for phlegmasia. In addition, residual thrombosis can be associated with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension and postthrombotic syndrome in a chronic setting. Throm...
