Congratulations to David Field, MD, FSIR - the newest Fellow of the Society of Interventional Radiology from Medstar Georgetown IR!

Our residents and medical students postin’ up at the #SIR24SLC scientific poster session!

Important study by IR resident Maryam Boumezrag, MD about simultaneous vs staged biopsy/cryoablation of renal masses More patients underwent ablation of benign lesions in simultaneous group. Need to counsel patients about biopsy first to avoid unnecessary ablation!

Excellent presentation by chief IR fellow Ivy Chowdhury on the techniques for treating sacroiliac joint pain and the best targets for nerve ablation! Prone position with steep caudal angle is key to visualize S1 superior enplate. Best to target L5-S3 for maximal relief

Exciting work from IR fellow Steve Kim on the use of basivertebral nerve ablation for vertebrogenic back pain w/ or w/o adjunctive medial branch nerve block and/or SI joint ablation! Sig. improvement in VAS scores for both with no diff. btw groups at 3mo. 6 mo data coming soon!

Incredibly proud of our Georgetown Medicine students for their presentations at #SIR24SLC! The future of IR is brighter every year Brittany Brookner (she/her) Wilton Fidelis Robin Yoon Aazrin Mir

Comprehensive talk on genicular nerve ablation by John Smirniotopoulos at GEST -Global Embolization Symposium & Technologies with details on anatomy, technique and clinical data 😎 #MSKinterventions #GNA #GAE

Embolized and active bleed from retroperitoneal with 5:1 n-BCA. It did a great job going down all the tiny supplying vessels and, as a bonus, almost got myself a left lower extremity thrombectomy....

Dr. Martijn Meijerink sharing compelling results from #COLLISION, an international, multicenter, phase III randomized controlled trial reviewing surgery vs thermal ablation for small-size colorectal liver metastases. Full study summary here: ow.ly/WyUa50S6iPc #ASCO2024

Key findings from an RCT comparing thermal ablation to surgery for CRC liver mets. This will further solidify the role of IR in the management of CRC mets Society of Interventional Radiology. Looking forward to reading the full manuscript.

Congratulations to our next group of incoming fellows! We can’t wait for you to join us in DC in 2025!

We will miss you so much Haley and Ivy!! You both are going to do great!

Kickin it back with the best crew! ⚽️ #Eurocup #Finals #HoyaIR Maryam Boumezrag, MD Emil Cohen
