Other Service

Interventional Radiology - structural dictation report, I helped with the implementation of the IR strucral report for most common procedures(20) for the purpose of consistency and coding.	07/2015 - 06/2017
Preparing IR for Joint Commission Inspection, I have prepared Interventional Radiology department for Joint commission inspection, last reviewed in 2015.	2015 - Present
UMMC Development/Advancement of Clinical Programs - Spine ablation, I am the principal Interventional Radiologist to perform Spine Ablation and Cement augmentation procedures in patients who fail to respond adequately to conservative treatment for Pain. We perform the procedures with percutaneous approach to access spinal pain foci such as metastatic lesions or Myeloma. Spine ablation services are only performed at UMMC in the state of MS.	2015 - Present
UMMC Radial Access Intiative, I initiated the Radial artery approach for arterial catheterization procedure in the section of Interventional Radiology procedure at UMMC. Radial artery catheterization procedures complications are not only less as compared with Femoral arterial approach, but also facilitate an early discharge from the hospital, resulting in less burden for the healthcare system. This procedure is particularly helpful in selected patients since we have a considerable number of obese patients in Mississippi in whom Femoral arterial approach is associated with a major number of complications at the arterial site such as Retroperitoneal hematomas, Pseudoanuerysm, AV fistulas, Occlusion and Emboli. I’m also training my colleagues and radiology residents in training who are not familiar with the procedure.	2015 - Present

Supporting Transplant Program and Downstage disease, Supporting University Transplant program is a cornerstone for the Interventional Radiology Department. a. Converting a Non-Transplantable Patients into Transplantable candidate have been my focus towards in the treatment for Liver cancer. b. I have introduced a cutting-edge Radiation Segmenetectomy treatment with Radioembolization at the UMMC, not available before, significantly downstage the tumor and keep them on the transplant list for longer period than other convention treatment.	2013 - Present
Prepared UMMC for several Complex procedures, I have introduced and prepared UMMC for several Complex procedures, which wasn’t available before my tenure. I.e.: a. Treatment of Complex GI bleeding or Complex post-surgical Bleeding. i. Balloon guided Retrograde Transvenous Occlusion(BRTO) – Very Complex procedure, only performed and mastered by few center in the USA. We have performed more than 20 cases successfully. ii. TIPS: Lifesaving procedure frequently referred to UMMC after failed attempts in the local/out of state Hospitals. b. Treatment for Pelvis Congestion Syndrome for chronic debilitation conditions, only offered at the UMMC. c. Biliary Intervention in a non-dilated system d. Transplant Kidney and Liver Intervention	2013 - Present
UMMC CardioThoracic Services, I am a "Go To" Interventional radiologist regarding complicated scenario. I.e: Difficult Biopsy referred from Peripheral clinics/Hospital of MS state. Also referring for treatment of complicated Lymphtic leaks/Thoracic duct embolizations. To my knowledge, This service is only performed by Me in the state of Mississippi.	2012 - Present
UMMC Transplant Service, I am a "Go To" Interventional radiologist regarding complicated cases affecting Liver, Pancreas and Kidney transplants.	2012 - Present
Barcelona Clinic of Liver Cancer(BCLC) Clinical Practise guideline endorsed by American Association of Study of Liver Disease(AASLD) - Implementing a consistant CPG at UMMC for the treatment of Liver cancer, I have expanded the scope of Transarterial Radioembolization (TARE, y-90) for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Treatment (HCC) at UMMC. UMMC has an active Liver Transplant program. Many of the potential patients for liver transplants are suitable for tumor shrinkage for better surgical and post-transplant course in terms of viability and survival. Under my leadership, the scope of expansion of this modality evolved developing a collaborative approach with my surgical colleague, Radiation Oncologists, Radiation safety personal and Radiation physicists. This modality is also used for palliative treatment of Liver Cancer patients who may not suitable or nonresponding to other forms of Chemotherapy. Under my leadership, UMMC has been recognized as the only site in the Mississippi to receive a Therasphere (y-90 products), only FDA approved y-90 product, for the treatment of HCC. As the number of Procedures have increased over last several years, currently, we are doing about 60-70 procedures (From a single digit five years ago) per year.	2010 - Present
