"We were no longer using iodinated contrast for nonemergent cases. We started using a lot of gadolinium, air, CO2, IVUS, Gastrografin, Cystografin—pretty much everything you could think of besides iodinated contrast. Because you need to save it for those emergent cases and the stroke. You know—stroke comes in, you can't just not have contrast to treat it." —Nikki Keefe, MDIn May 2022, Nikki Keefe, MD, Kush Desai, MD, FSIR, Maureen P. Kohi, MD, FSIR, and Gloria M. Salazar, MD, FSIR, published in the Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology (JVIR) a paper on mitigating the contrast media shortage. In this episode, host Warren Krackov, MD, FSIR, speaks Drs. Keefe and Salazar about what led to the shortage, alternative solutions to contrast media and more.Related resources:Read "Mitigation Strategies for Interventional Radiology During a Global Contrast Media Shortage," by Keefe et al.

"The people that you interact with emergently—critical care doctors, the transplant doctors, the trauma doctors—they can speak for you. And I think sometimes using our allies to speak for us in places where our voices may not be heard as much can be very powerful." —Janice Newsome, MD, FSIRHost Barbara Nickel Hamilton, MD, speaks with interventional radiologist Janice Newsome, MD, FSIR, about her efforts to build postpartum hemorrhage response teams and their potential to save lives.

"Interventional radiology practices are faced with instituting urgent changes in patient care to preserve contrast media for use in procedures for which alternative options are not available, or in emergent scenarios. In this communication, we propose an initial approach to case prioritization, as well as short-term strategies for management of existing supply to optimize utility and minimize waste." This recording provides an audio version of a special communication published in the Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology (JVIR), "Mitigation Strategies for Interventional Radiology During a Global Contrast Media Shortage," by Nikki Keefe, MD, Kush R. Desai, MD, FSIR, Maureen P. Kohi, MD, FSIR, and Gloria Salazar, MD, FSIR. Watch for an interview with the authors to be published soon on the Kinked Wire.

“The collaboration between surgeons and interventional radiologists has been at the center of many great advancements in trauma care.” —Jack Sava, MD, FACS, Director of Trauma/burns Program Director, General Surgery, MedStar Washington Hospital CenterIn the audio version of "IR in the ER: The role of interventional radiology on the trauma team"  (IR Quarterly: Fall 2017), author Susan Rose describes how interventional radiologist Arshad A. Khan, MD, FSIR, saved the life of shooting victim Rep. Steve Scalise and the role that interventional radiology continues to play in trauma care.

 If you think, "You know, I do what other people do but I do it a little bit better," you really should know whether that is indeed the case. So , do I really do my procedure with the best efficiency?  the lowest cost? the lowest radiation? the lowest contrast dose? That's the idea.  Be armed with data." —Matthew S. Johnson, MD, FSIRGuest host Jaimin Shah, MD, speaks with  Raj Shah, MD, FSIR, and Matthew S. Johnson, MD, FSIR, about how participating in the VIRTEX Data Registry helps interventional radiologists demonstrate their value, improve patient care and strengthen the specialty.

 To be a good volunteer and make a real difference, you need to do a lot of listening to what themes are around you and what people are struggling with—and not wait for someone to tell you what they want you to do. —Laura Findeiss, MD, FSIR, 2019–20 SIR presidentAs part of the new "Owning Success" column in the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) IR Quarterly magazine, guest host Nishita Kothary, MD, FSIR, speaks with former SIR Presidents Laura Findeiss, MD, FSIR, and James B. Spies, MD, MPH, FSIR, and current SIR Secretary Alda L. Tam, MD, FSIR, about how they got involved with Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) leadership, their experiences on the SIR Executive Council and SIR Foundation Board of Directors, and advice they offer IRs-in-training and early-career IRs. Note: This episode was recorded on  Feb. 15, 2022.Contact us with your ideas and questions, or read more about about interventional radiology in IR Quarterly magazine or SIR's Patient Center.(c) Society of Interventional Radiology.
