CIRSE 2025

Dr Hao Xiang, Dr Bryan Barry and Dr Chandra Annabattula attended the CIRSE congress in Barcelona Spain in September 2025. Here the team learned about the latest advances in interventional radiology from the peak European body. Specific topics of interest included combining locoregional liver directed therapies with immunotherapy for synergistic effects, trans-arterial microembolisation (TAME) for the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders and embolisation/RFA for treatment of thyroid disease. Hopefully these advances will make their way to our patients in the not too distant future.

Special congratulations to Dr Chandra Annabattula for presenting on the landscape of Australian IR on behalf of Dr Akshay Kohli. After a week of learning the team enjoyed the rest of their time in Spain, touring the countryside and many fine dining establishments in the Basque Country around San Sebastien and Bilbao.
