European Trainee Forum for Interventional Radiology

European Trainee Forum for Interventional Radiology The ETF is a framework for all CIRSE activities related to IR trainees, residents and young IRs.

Launched by CIRSE in 2015, the European Trainee Forum aims to encourage the participation of young physicians in international scientific and educational activities and to create a space within CIRSE to further their careers through networking opportunities.

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.

I would like to conclude this week’s takeover with a post of appreciation and encouragement for all women in the field. ⚕️

welcomes women. When women join the field, interventional radiology becomes richer and stronger.

At CIRSE 2025, the Women in IR sessions reminded us that progress happens when everyone works together, women and men, sharing knowledge, respect and opportunities.

Representation is not about division but about collaboration and balance.

Together, we build a community where every voice has a place and every talent can grow.

Prostatic artery embolization – summary

Male patient, 83 years old, presenting with irritative lower urinary tract symptoms related to benign prostatic hypertrophy (estimated prostate volume ~100 cc). The patient was under oral anticoagulant therapy.

💉 Procedure:
Performed under conscious sedation via right femoral access.
Selective catheterization of the prostatic arteries was achieved bilaterally using a 2.0 Fr microcatheter.
Cone-beam CT identified one left and two right prostatic arteries, with no extra-prostatic branches.
In-situ nitroglycerin (3 × 100 µg) was administered to optimize flow, followed by embolization with calibrated 300–500 µm microspheres.

🏥 Outcome:
Control angiography demonstrated satisfactory devascularization of the prostatic parenchyma.
Hemostasis was achieved using a FemoSeal closure device.

Conclusion:
Successful bilateral prostatic artery embolization with excellent angiographic results, performed safely without discontinuing anticoagulation.

⚕️ Interventional radiology: advancing minimally invasive care for benign prostatic hypertrophy.
