Interventional Radiologists and OBLs: An Excellent Match
This article addresses the value interventional radiologists (IRs) can bring to the OBL, with primary impacts being the ability to impact a larger proportion of the population than is traditionally cared for in most hospital settings, the ability to positively influence multidisciplinary care teams and the financial leverage inherent in procedural diversification not readily afforded by other specialists working in the OBL space.

What is Happening in the Ambulatory Space? Past Challenges and Future Directions
Despite reimbursement pressures and scrutiny on procedural appropriateness, the demand for peripheral vascular ambulatory services remains strong. Improvements in minimally-invasive technologies, coupled with a supportive regulatory environment and considerable preference for ambulatory services among purchasers, patients, and providers, have resulted in the rapid proliferation of ambulatory facilities in a number of markets. Emerging ecosystem dynamics, notably the rapid growth of Medicare Advantage and the growing presence of private equity and venture capital within healthcare, will likely have an impact on future growt...

Transitioning from Hospital-based to Office-based Practice
The decision to change your career path from a hospital-based practice, whether it's from being a hospital employee or a member of a private practice, can be an emotionally draining choice that is complex and overwhelming to say the least. There are many factors to consider before making this switch, but most importantly, one must realize it may be the hardest but most rewarding work in your career. While the physical, emotional and financial stresses placed on you while developing a practice can be rather demanding, on the flip side, if done correctly and the practice thrives, it can be a change that will bring you great ...

Interventional Radiology Approaches for Managing Postpancreatic Transplant Complications and Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by the destruction of insulin-secreting beta cells in the pancreas, resulting in metabolic disturbances and long-term complications. While subcutaneous insulin remains the primary approach for achieving normoglycemia, pancreatic transplantation has emerged as an effective intervention for long-standing T1DM, providing insulin independence and normalized glycosylated hemoglobin levels. However, complications associated with pancreatic transplantation are frequent, necessitating thorough evaluation using diverse imaging modalities. (Source: Techni...

Pediatric Transplant Interventions
The field of pediatric organ transplantation has grown significantly in recent decades, with interventional radiology (IR) playing an essential role in managing pre- and post-transplant complications. Pediatric transplant patients face unique challenges compared to adults, including donor-recipient size mismatch, and complications of a growing child with changing physiology. Interventional radiologists play a major role in pediatric renal and liver transplant. IR interventions begin early in the child's pre-transplant journey, with diagnostic procedures such as biopsies, angiograms, and cholangiograms. (Source: Techniques ...

Interventional Radiological Treatment of Orthotopic Heart Transplant Complications
Orthoptic heart transplantation (OHT) is a life-saving procedure that has substantially improved the lives of countless patients since its inception. However, there are several procedure-related complications that require prompt management. Interventional radiology, with its ever-expanding toolkit, is a cornerstone of the multidisciplinary team following post-cardiac transplant patients. Percutaneous, endovascular therapy provides minimally invasive, safe, and effective treatments for immediate and delayed cardiac transplant complications and this paper serves to highlight the various management options interventional radi...

Expanding the Horizons of Interventional Radiology with Advanced Image Guidance and Robotics
The utilization of advanced imaging modalities and robotics in interventional radiology (IR) has grown in recent years. Incorporation of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), positron emission tomography (PET), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), navigation, and robotic systems into ‘next-generation’ interventional procedure suites have transformed the field by revolutionizing procedures and expanding possibilities. In this special issue, authors offer a glimpse into IR's recent advancements by presenting their valuable insights, tips, and tricks for utilizing advanced imag ing modalities and robotics.

Introduction
More than 100,000 Americans are waiting for organ transplants in the United States with approximately 59, 000 actively on the transplant list. A record was set in the year of 2022, with more than 42, 800 transplantations being performed. With more and more patient's being transplanted, Interventional Radiology must be well equipped in diagnosing and treating these patients.

Disparities in Transplant Interventions
Since its groundbreaking inception in 1954 with the first successful kidney transplant, 1,2 organ transplantation has played a pivotal role in modern medicine, providing a lifeline to patients with end-stage organ failure. This revolution continued, as organ transplantation expanded from kidneys to encompass liver, heart, lung, and bone marrow transplants, illuminating the path to a brighter future for those in need. In 2015, over 125,000 organs were transplanted globally7 with an average of 4.3 life-years are saved per solid organ transplant recipient in the United States.

Surgical versus Image-Guided Interventions in the Management of Complications after Liver Transplantation
Liver transplantation is a technically demanding surgical procedure with known complications, and the optimal approach to addressing vascular and biliary complications requires a coordinated effort between surgical and interventional radiology teams. Vascular complications involving the hepatic artery, portal vein, or hepatic veins can be characterized by their mechanism, chronicity, and timing of presentation. These factors help determine whether the optimal therapeutic approach is surgical or endovascular. (Source: Techniques in Vascular and Interventional Radiology)
