The Power of MIIPs Through Patient Stories: Liver Tumor Gone, Walks Chewie the Next Day

A 76-year-old Veteran with liver cancer came to us for ablation—a procedure that destroys tumors without harming healthy liver. We slipped a slender wand through the skin to heat the tumor until it was gone. No stitches, just a Band-Aid. That evening, he was back home. The next day, he was up and about, walking his dog Chewie, just like always.

Community connection and "behind the scenes" of medical learning.

Great evening with the surgeons of Kollam! 📍🤝

I was honored to present at the monthly surgical community meeting in Kollam. We had a lively case-based discussion on how Interventional Radiology steps in during surgical emergencies.
It’s always incredible to see how different specialties can come together to solve complex problems. Whether it's stopping a bleed without open surgery or stabilizing a patient before an operation, the partnership between Surgeons and Interventional Radiologists is saving lives.
Thank you to the Kollam medical fraternity for the warm welcome and the fruitful interaction! 🏥✨

🩸 Prevention of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
Deep Vein Thrombosis occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein, usually in the legs — and can become life-threatening if not prevented or treated on time.

✅ Simple steps to prevent DVT:
• Maintain a healthy weight
• Keep moving — regular walks help
• Stay hydrated 💧
• Avoid sitting motionless for long hours
• Don’t cross your legs while sitting
• Quit smoking 🚭
• Avoid alcohol consumption

🦵 Stay active, stay healthy — because prevention is always better than cure!

United for Better Care! 🤝

We recently gathered with the unsung heroes of our city's healthcare system—our Emergency Physicians—for a roundtable on Neurovascular Emergencies.

When a neurovascular crisis strikes, the frontline response makes all the difference. We had an amazing exchange of ideas on how to optimize acute care, speed up treatment times, and ultimately save more lives and prevent disability.

Grateful for these productive conversations and the shared passion for patient recovery! 🏥✨

CT (computed tomography) scans combine multiple X-ray images taken from different angles to create detailed cross-sectional pictures of the body.

Interventional radiologists often use CT scans to plan and guide procedures such as biopsies, ablations, and embolizations—ensuring precise targeting and safety. CT imaging provides critical insight that helps doctors diagnose, treat, and monitor a wide variety of conditions.

Had the privilege of Discussing the role of Doppler assessment for AV fistula in CKD patients at recently concluded annual conference of IRIA Kerala chapter.
Doppler is an inseparable tool for evaluation of Av fistula for dialysis access.
Most centers also use ultrasound as the sole imaging and guiding modality not only during fistula plasty but also as a tool for evaluation both pre-and post procedure.
