Extremely excited to be working with these future interventional radiologists!!

Hey who is that rockstar?! 😍

Extremely proud of our @DukeIR integrated IR residents Ryan Meyerhoff @rrmeyerh and Russell Thompson who were each just awarded the NIH/NCI R38 grant as part of our department’s Research Pathway for residents committed to a career as physician scientists!

Always grateful for the amazing efforts of the Duke IR team - it has been an interesting few years, with Covid and staffing challenges, but we pulled through and are bigger and better than ever. Such a fun time welcoming new team members and celebrating a great year!

Huge excitement around here about the match and our newest Duke IR integrated residents! @nperkons @preetSPatel @MC_Hiero Duke DR also scored huge with @DannyPopeUTMB, for whom we have an ESIR spot warmed up for him. Stellar foursome. Can’t wait to work with you all!

PS- New IR training format = HUGE success! Am so excited for what this means to the field of IR. Am especially excited for our graduates’ long-awaited and well-deserved ascension to attending-hood. Including @BClineMD who is joining our team! @SIRRFS @theAPDIR

Bittersweet end of a simply awesome era with our first-ever graduating @DukeIR integrated residency class. The new IR-centric curriculum has yielded the highest level of clinical judgement and procedural skills we have EVER seen with our graduates. Amazing! @DukeRadiology

6.1/ whoops failed to use the right video file (not that it really matters!)

6/ The VV can be useful as a rendezvous location when angles around the IJ/SC/BC confluence are thwarting attempts to reach target destination during recanalization. If you find yourself in it, try to get a guidewire into it from EJ or arm – can easily snare and pull through

5/ If uncertain, check steep oblique or lateral view – the VV veers posteriorly towards the spine as you can see in this different patient. The IJ is an anterior structure that is usually relatively in-line with SVC.

4/ From IJ/SC/BC vein confluence, the VV veers posteriorly to follow the vertebral art into the transverse foramen, where it becomes diminutive and more plexus-like. On frontal view can look like a small IJ. Recognize this vein, and never think to put in a snare to stick down on!
