{"title":"Current practices in elective embolisation: insights from a UK national cross-sectional survey.","authors":"N Aghtarafi, F Sheehan, C Grieco, R Lakshminarayan, M Hamady, S Travis","doi":"10.1016/j.crad.2026.107489","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.crad.2026.107489","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Aim: </strong>The aim of this study was to evaluate the national landscape of elective embolisation services in the UK and identify factors affecting service delivery and expansion.</p><p><strong>Materials and methods: </strong>An online cross-sectional survey comprising 19 structured questions exploring the current provision of arterial and venous elective embolisation procedures, service capacity, resource availability, and training was distributed to approximately 1,000 members of a national society in March 2025. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were performed.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Eighty-five responses from 54 UK National Health Service (NHS) Trusts were analysed, predominantly from consultant interventional radiologists (85%), working in tertiary centres (62%), district general hospitals (24%), or both (14%). Elective arterial and venous embolisation procedures were widely performed, most commonly uterine artery (94%), renal angiomyolipoma (92%), visceral aneurysm (89%), and varicocele (98%) embolisation. Tumour, type II endoleak, prostate artery, and arteriovenous malformation embolisation were performed significantly more frequently in tertiary centres (P < .05). Most reported access to day-case beds (87%) and clinic time (84%), although provision was frequently perceived as insufficient. While 63% expressed a desire to expand services, key barriers included funding (55%), inadequate referral pathways (45%), bed capacity (39% day-case; 37% inpatient), emergency workload (36%), and workforce shortages (36% radiologists; 36% nurses/radiographers). Qualitative feedback highlighted resource limitations, regional disparities, and the need for more flexible training pathways.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Sustainable expansion of elective embolisation across the UK requires clinically integrated interventional radiology (IR) services, protected capacity, infrastructure and workforce investment, regional networks, standardisation, flexible training, and systematic evaluation.</p>","PeriodicalId":10695,"journal":{"name":"Clinical radiology","volume":"103 ","pages":"107489"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149223536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
