We are very excited to introduce our brand new IR Day Unit, opened just 6 weeks ago. There are 6 walled-off cubicles to ensure Covid safety. It's already making a positive impact on patient experience and workflow. #withoutascalpel #irad

Fridays are biliary day! Occluded plastic stents are a challenge. I find the neatest way to remove them is to puncture the duct above them, cannulate the middle of the stent, & use a balloon inflated inside to push them into the duodenum @DrAidanShaw
