What is your preferred embolic in this case? Feel free to elaborate below! #IRad #IR #IO #OrthoIR #PalliativeIR #Embolization
Distal radial access (Barbeau B, 1.5 mm), 4-French Judkins Right 2.5, Progreat Alpha, 300-500 micron Embospheres, super-selective embo of two major feeders. Intra-op blood loss minimal during next-day successful rTSA #OrthoIR 
Pre-operative embolization is useful in cases where intra-operative tourniquet may not be possible (shoulder, hip, pelvis). Details in our upcoming @DukeIR @DukeOrtho collaborative book chapter #AcademicIR
Post-embolization axillary arteriogram via JR-2.5. Survey results were informative and would be interested in viewpoints on gelfoam, coils, glue in this setting #IR #IO #OrthoIR #PalliativeIR @GESTSymposium
