    Abstract The current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is creating significant challenges to the Canadian health system, including the practice of interventional radiology (IR). Interventional radiology will continue to play an important role in patient care, during this crisis. This document serves to guide interventional and general radiologists in safely performing IR procedures on patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19, using the best evidence, guidelines and expert recommendations available. These strategies include reviewing procedural indications, development of tactics to minimize cross contamination prior to the intervention, appropriate usage of personal protection equipment according to the type of procedure (along with defining aerosol-generating procedures in IR), along with developing the appropriate work environment during the COVID-19 pandemic. By adopting the policies described, hospitals will protect the interventional radiologists, medical radiation technologists, nurses, ancillary staff, along with patients who benefit from their care.

    Abstract Graphical abstarct: PURPOSE: To report the results of the first-in-human trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of the percutaneous ultrasound gastrostomy (PUG) technique.
    Methods: A prospective, industry-sponsored single-arm clinical trial of PUG insertion was performed in 25 adult patients under investigational device exemption (mean age 64 ± 15 years, 92% men, 80% inpatients, mean BMI 24.5 ± 2.7 kg/m
    Results: All PUG procedures were successful, including 3/25 [12%] performed bedside within the ICU. There was no significant difference between PUG and PRG in rates of mild AE's (3/25 [12%] for PUG and 7/25 [28%] for PRG, p = 0.16) or moderate AE's (1/25 [4%] for PUG and 0/25 for PRG, p = 0.31). There were no severe AE's or 30-day procedure-related mortality in either group. Procedural room time was longer for PUG (56.5 ± 14.1 min) than PRG (39.3 ± 15.0 min, p < 0.001). PUG procedure time was significantly shorter after a procedural enhancement, the incorporation of a Gauss meter to facilitate successful magnetic gastropexy. Length of stay for outpatients did not significantly differ (2.4 ± 0.5 days for PUG and 2.6 ± 1.0 days for PRG, p = 0.70).
    Conclusion: PUG appears effective with a safety profile similar to PRG. Bedside point-of-care gastrostomy tube insertion using the PUG technique shows promise.

    Abstract Complete tumor coverage by the thermal ablation zone and with a safety margin (5 or 10 mm) is required to achieve the entire tumor eradication in liver tumor ablation procedures. However, 2D ultrasound (US) imaging has limitations in evaluating the tumor coverage by imaging only one or multiple planes, particularly for cases with multiple inserted applicators or irregular tumor shapes. In this paper, we evaluate the intra-procedural tumor coverage using 3D US imaging and investigate whether it can provide clinically needed information. Using data from 14 cases, we employed surface- and volume-based evaluation metrics to provide information on any uncovered tumor region. For cases with incomplete tumor coverage or uneven ablation margin distribution, we also proposed a novel margin uniformity -based approach to provide quantitative applicator adjustment information for optimization of tumor coverage. Both the surface- and volume-based metrics showed that 5 of 14 cases had incomplete tumor coverage according to the estimated ablation zone. After applying our proposed applicator adjustment approach, the simulated results showed that 92.9% (13 of 14) cases achieved 100% tumor coverage and the remaining case can benefit by increasing the ablation time or power. Our proposed method can evaluate the intra-procedural tumor coverage and intuitively provide applicator adjustment information for the physician. Our 3D US-based method is compatible with the constraints of conventional US-guided ablation procedures and can be easily integrated into the clinical workflow.

    Abstract We present the case of a 73-year-old female who underwent percutaneous cryoablation for recurrent life-threatening pancreatic vasoactive intestinal polypeptide-producing tumor (VIPoma) following a pancreaticoduodenectomy and chemotherapy 5 years earlier. She presented with profuse watery diarrhea causing severe electrolyte and acid-base abnormalities, along with acute kidney injury. Cryoablation was successful in treating her profound symptoms, completely reversing her clinical course. The patient has made a successful recovery for the last 1.5 years since the procedure.

    Abstract Percutaneous ultrasound gastrostomy (PUG) technique was developed to allow for gastrostomy tube insertion to be performed solely under ultrasound guidance without need for fluoroscopy or endoscopy. This report discusses the new device, proposed PUG technique, and the first-in-human experience. Five patients had PUG tube insertion performed as part of a Health Canada approved investigational study. All procedures were successful with no complications within 30 days postprocedure. Mean total procedure time was 50 ± 13 minutes. Two of 5 procedures required temporary fluoroscopy use to localize the orogastric balloon position within the stomach to achieve magnetic gastropexy.
