Learning Objectives

After completing this activity, participants will be able to:

• Describe the contemporary methods of vascular recanalization
• Recommend percutaneous methods of lower extremity therapy for varicose veins
• Select and use the appropriate embolic agents for treating hemorrhage secondary to trauma and gastrointestinal bleeding
• Recognize indications for percutaneous nephrostomy, percutaneous abscess drainage, and percutaneous biliary drainage
• Anticipate success rates of uterine fibroid embolization for menorrhagia, pelvic pain, and urinary frequency
• Evaluate contraindications to percutaneous biopsy
• Distinguish between different devices used for percutaneous ablation of liver and kidney lesions

Intended Audience

This course is designed for radiologists actively practicing interventional radiology, as well as newly qualified interventional radiologists seeking to compare their knowledge and training with UCSF experts. The course is focused primarily on body IR, rather than neuroradiological interventions.
