520			_aThe idea of GI interventional radiology came from my GI colleague trying to educate his fellows how IR could help with the management of variceal bleed. It struck me at the moment that our referring physicians especially at the grassroots level need a refresher on the procedures IR can offer and also update on the new IR techniques, especially since IR has grown rapidly in the last few decades. The book is authored by experts in their fields and is designed for referring medical, surgical, GI, and IR physicians. The book describes the common day-to-day procedures such as enteral tube feeding and abscess drainage, to more complex interventions like TIPS shunt creation and vessel embolization for GI bleeds, often a lifesaving procedure. The goal is to briefly describe the indications and basic techniques, help in getting patients prepared for the procedure, and to be aware and manage post-procedure course and any complications. I acknowledge the authors who took time from their busy schedules to write the chapters. I also thank my parents, my family, daughters, and work colleagues for being an inspiration for academic work. Hopefully, you will enjoy reading the book and it can provide some tips in improving day-to-day patient care.
