#CIRSEtakeover with Dr. Thiago Nunes Today’s case: a TIPS procedure performed in a patient with chronic thrombosis of the portal and splenic veins — a technically demanding scenario requiring experience and precise coordination. We had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Denis Szejnfeld, whose expertise in complex visceral interventions added tremendous value to the day. The procedure involved careful multidisciplinary planning, percutaneous access and recanalization, shunt creation, and portosystemic gradient optimization — all under real-time imaging guidance and hemodynamic monitoring. This case highlights how joining forces between experts is essential to overcoming complex challenges and delivering the best outcomes. 💪 #CIRSEsociety #IRinnovation #IReducation #InterventionalRadiology #TIPS #PortalVeinThrombosis #Teamwork #ExpertsTogether #SOBRICE #LatinAmericaIR SOBRICE - Sociedade Brasileira de Radiologia Intervencionista e Cirurgia Endovascular

#CIRSEtakeover with Dr. Thiago Nunes 📚 RESEARCH & TEAMWORK in 2025 = CVIR YEAR! I am feeling truly honored to see our team’s dedication reflected in multiple publications throughout 2025 in CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology (CVIR) – the leading and most impactful journal in interventional radiology. Our main research focuses include: 💥 Minimally invasive therapies for benign prostatic conditions 🔬 Percutaneous cholangioscopy for complex biliary diseases These achievements represent not only scientific growth, but also the strength of collaboration, perseverance, and friendship that drive every project forward. I am grateful for each colleague, mentor, and institution that made this possible — and for the opportunity to keep advancing interventional radiology from Brazil to the world. 💪 Check out our publications from 2025 below: ➡️ Ultrasound-guided Transperineal Prostate Thermal Ablation (TPTA) for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: Feasibility of an Outpatient Procedure using Radiofrequency Ablation: https://t.ly/RzkHR ➡️ Percutaneous Cholangioscopy Unmasks Foreign-Body Mimics of Biliary Lesions: https://t.ly/Loiso ➡️ Transperineal Radiofrequency Ablation of an Ectopic Prostatic Adenoma: A Novel Image-Guided Approach to a Rare Lesion: https://t.ly/TdBFs ➡️ Response to Commentary ‘Ultrasound-Guided Transperineal Prostate Thermal Ablation (TPTA) for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: Feasibility of an Outpatient Procedure Using Radiofrequency Ablation’: https://t.ly/QbPgT ➡️Ultrasound-Guided Transvaginal Foam Sclerotherapy for Recurrent Pelvic Venous Congestion: A Low-Cost Outpatient Alternative: https://t.ly/MFH-T ➡️ Prostatic Artery Embolization for Refractory Hematospermia Without Hematuria: https://t.ly/EmwxK #CVIR #Interventix #TeamScience #IREducation #Research #ProstateAblation #Cholangioscopy #IRInnovation #LatinAmericaIR

We are thrilled to introduce this week's #CIRSEtakeover! 👋 Hi everyone! I’m Dr. Thiago Nunes, an interventional radiologist from Campo Grande, Brazil. I work at the Hospital de Câncer Alfredo Abrão and Interventix, our outpatient interventional radiology day clinic. It’s a pleasure to take over CIRSE’s social media this week — I’ll be sharing our daily practice, team moments, and unique cases from Brazil. Let’s go! 🚀 #Interventix #RadiologiaIntervencionista #IRDayClinic #CampoGrande #BrazilIR #sobrice SOBRICE - Sociedade Brasileira de Radiologia Intervencionista e Cirurgia Endovascular #interventionalradiology

Many thanks to our sponsors for this year's ESIR course on liquid embolization! GEM, Guerbet, Medtronic, Siemens Healthineers #ESIRcourse #interventionalradiology #IRad  

A strong start to the liquid embolization course in Strasbourg today! Led by course chairperson Prof. Bernhard Gebauer, participants began the day with an in-depth look at the technical aspects of different liquid embolics. The programme then shifted to hands-on device training models and immersive in vivo animal lab sessions. Tomorrow, attendees will dive into case discussions and explore CBCT and embolization guidance software. Check out the upcoming 2026 ESIR courses at www.esir.org #ESIRcourse #InterventionalRadiology #IRad #embolization Emanuele Boatta, Ajay Pankhania, Anna Maria Ierardi, Bernhard Meyer 

Catch the early fee for the ESIR course on liver, kidney, and MSK ablation before December 4! https://t.ly/tBX8T This course, organized by Prof. Gangi Afshin and Dr. Roberto Luigi Cazzato, MD, PhD, is back and now updated to include MSK ablation. Participants can refine their skills through ex vivo and in vivo animal lab training, which will be a true highlight of the course! #interventionalradiology #IRad #ablation #ESIRcourse Xavier Buy, Martijn Meijerink, Maarten Smits 

Check out the newly updated course on pelvicalyceal and ureteric obstructions in the CIRSE Academy! https://t.ly/Bth2V This course aims to introduce IRs to basic and advanced techniques for adequate management of pelvicalyceal and ureteric obstruction with a specific focus on nephrostomy and stent insertion. Anatomical and pathophysiological aspects are covered, as well as indications and contraindications. The course also covers the most relevant technical aspects of nephrostomy insertion, anterograde stent insertion for native bladder, and urinary diversions. It also discusses materials and devices, focusing especially on those used in nephrostomy and ureteral stent insertion. 🔓 Get the 2026 All-Access Pass for access to this course, plus all other CIRSE Academy courses, discounted rates for all CIRSE congresses in 2026, and more! https://t.ly/KuOCe #CIRSEacademy #interventionalradiology #IRad #nephrostomy Authors: Marco Calandri, Dr Phil Haslam, lorenzo monfardini Reviewers: Davide Giuseppe Castiglione, Dimitris Filippiadis, Anna Maria Ierardi, Roberto Iezzi, MD, fCIRSE, Theodoros KRATIMENOS, Duccio Rossi, Raman uberoi
