In which we have the nonphysician CEO of the largest radiology company/practice in the country—one that employs 10% of the workforce, just received $720 million in rescue funding , and is valued at several billion dollars— taking the time to troll an individual radiologist on X (née Twitter): Clearly, a man delighting in his bailout. The post Post-bailout Troll-break first appeared on Ben White.

More than 70% of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have advanced disease at the time of diagnosis and so are ineligible for curative surgery or liver transplantation. Transarterial embolization (TAE) is an accepted palliative treatment for patients with advanced HCC. However, there are potential adverse events after TAE with the use of smaller microspheres in this setting, including liver abscess, cholecystitis, biloma, and pulmonary emboli (1).

Unlike molecular-mediated therapies such as chemotherapy and immunotherapy, radiation therapy will always result in cell death if an adequate dose is delivered. Hence, delivering such a dose to all cells in a tumor while limiting the dose to normal tissue is the focus of therapy. A major advantage of transarterial radioembolization compared with external beam radiation therapy is the ability to limit the dose to normal tissue via the endovascular selection of a specific tumor angiosome.

This report describes the experience of removing migrated gastrointestinal stents using a gastrostomy access. Four male patients ages years (23-62, mean 42) had 6 migrated stents removed using existing (n=3) or new (n=1) gastrostomy access. Removed stents included 5 covered esophageal stents that migrated into the stomach and 1 distal non-covered duodenal stent that migrated into the proximal duodenum.
