"I remember the first case ever referred to us: It was a young patient who was riding on a motorcycle. He crashed and ruptured his pelvis. He was bleeding out, and we didn't have any material to embolize with. So I took his blood, and kept stirring it until it coagulated on itself, and then I injected clots into the artery that was bleeding. It stopped, and we become heroes at MGH. Then the whole field just exploded." —Stanley Baum, MD, FSIR, reflecting on the early days of interventional radiologyIn this episode, which was first published in 2022 on the Sound of IR podcast, host Eric Cyphers spoke with Stanley Baum, MD, FSIR (1929–2022), about his journey and experiences in interventional radiology.
