Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Pulmonary Embolism II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

Diagnosing Pulmonary EmbolismDiagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE) involves clinical assessment and advanced imaging tests. The preferred diagnostic tool is the spiral (helical) CT scan or CT angiography (CTA), which uses intravenous contrast media to visualize the pulmonary vasculature and identify emboli.A ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan is an alternative for patients unable to receive contrast media. This scan includes both perfusion and ventilation scanning. Perfusion scanning involves...

Area of Science:

Interventional Radiology
Obesity Medicine
Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

Bariatric arterial embolization (BAE) is an emerging treatment for obesity.
It is considered for patients who failed nonoperative treatments and are not candidates for bariatric surgery.
Guidance on integrating BAE into weight management programs (WMPs) is needed.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the experience of building a multidisciplinary clinical program integrating BAE into routine obesity care.
To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of BAE within a WMP.

Main Methods:

Retrospective, single-center observational case series (November 2021-September 2023).
Inclusion criteria: BMI ≥30 kg/m², failure of nonoperative management, ineligible/unwilling for metabolic-bariatric surgery.
BAE suitability determined by multidisciplinary discussion.

Main Results:

Thirty-one patients considered, 9 cleared, 5 underwent BAE (mean age 42, mean weight 116 kg).
Mean weight loss: 7.0% at 4-5 months, 4.2% at 12 months.
Successful BAE with transient nausea/vomiting; mean cost $14,329.

Conclusions:

BAE is a viable obesity treatment option with low complication risk within a comprehensive WMP.
Collaboration between interventional radiologists and obesity medicine physicians is crucial.
BAE should be a component of a WMP, not a standalone procedure.
