Working notes on tumour embolisation across different anatomical sites—from the technical demands of pelvic access to the choice between TAE, cTACE, DEB-TACE, and Y90 for liver work. Includes practical guidance on embolisation agents and procedure structure, written partly from the perspective of nursing staff in the room.

  • Acetabulum Tumour Embolisation — Working notes on acetabular tumour embolisation, why the pelvis is technically demanding, how the procedure is structured, and why coils always go in before particles.
  • Bland TAE — Choosing the Right Embolisation Agent — A guide to bland transarterial embolisation and the agents used to do the blocking, written from the vantage of nursing staff assisting in the room.
  • CT-Guided Spinal Injections — Notes on CT-guided spinal injections — the four main flavours, what each one targets, and why cervical work is its own thing
  • Fiducial Insertion into Deep Organs — Notes on percutaneous CT-guided fiducial marker placement into lung, liver, and pancreas — why radiotherapy needs them and what the room looks like during the case
  • Genicular Artery Embolisation — Notes on genicular artery embolisation for knee osteoarthritis pain, the rationale, the genicular anatomy, and the embolic options. A rare visitor to the list, so a reference note rather than a working protocol.
  • GLP-1 Drugs and Sedation — Why patients on Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs need a 24-hour liquid diet before sedation — what the drug does to the stomach, why depth of sedation matters, and how to spot the patients who need a second look.
  • Liver Tumour Embolisation — Notes on liver tumour embolisation, the vascular plumbing, the two access routes, and the four modalities (TAE, cTACE, DEB-TACE, Y90)
  • Post-Lumbar Puncture Bed Rest — Why the post-LP bed rest policy moved from 2 hours to 15 minutes, what the evidence actually shows, what to watch for, and what to tell the ward or the outpatient on the way out the door
  • Suprapubic Catheter Insertion — Notes on percutaneous suprapubic catheter insertion using the single-stick trocar (stab) technique under ultrasound guidance — the anatomy that makes it safe, the kit, the moment that decides everything, and why this lives in IR
