Retracted: Diagnostic Dilemma of a Diaphragmatic Hernia

Diaphragmatic hernia post esophagectomy is a rare complication but a reality in its existence. It is typically difficult to diagnose but highly depends on keeping high index of suspicion. In our case report, the young male who underwent esophagectomy for esophageal carcinoma, remained disease free and stable in his 9 months follow up, suddenly presented in the emergency department with the symptoms of shortness of breath, chest pain, vomiting and tachycardia. The case was typically complicated by the initial treatment given for acute ischemia and cardiogenic shock. Radiological findings proved to be helpful and turning point in the diagnosis and overall management

Challenges, Barriers, and Successes of Standardized Report Templates: Results of an SIR Survey

Registry data are being increasingly used to establish treatment guidelines, set benchmarks, allocate resources, and make payment decisions. Although many registries rely on manual data entry, the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) is using automated data extraction for its VIRTEX registry. This process relies on participants using consistent terminology with highly structured data in physician-developed standardized reports (SR). To better understand barriers to adoption, a survey was sent to 3,178 SIR members. Responses were obtained from 451 interventional radiology practitioners (14.2%) from 92 unique academic and 151 unique private practices. Of these, 75% used structured reports and 32% used the SIR SR. The most common barriers to the use of these reports include SR length (35% of respondents), lack of awareness about the SR (31%), and lack of agreement on adoption within practices (27%). The results demonstrated insights regarding barriers in the use and/or adoption of SR and potential solutions
