About

Dr. Konrad J. Lebioda is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiology at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School. His medical education was completed at the Medical University of South Carolina in 2003, where he developed a passion for radiology. He further specialized through a residency in Diagnostic Radiology and a fellowship in Neuroradiology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. Dr. Lebioda spent ten years at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, Illinois, where he trained medical students, residents, and fellows in a busy academic environment that is a level one trauma and stroke center. He then returned to the northeast to continue his work in a busy tertiary referral center, maintaining his commitment to teaching and clinical excellence in radiology.

• Endovascular Approach for Management of Bullet Embolization to the Heart

  Vascular and Endovascular Surgery · 2018-03-18 · 8 citations

  articleSenior authorCorresponding

  Bullet embolization to the right heart through the vasculature is seen infrequently in cases presenting with penetrating trauma. Patients with unstable hemodynamic status are managed operatively. For a patient with stable hemodynamic parameters, diagnostic evaluation such as computed tomography angiogram, echocardiogram, or angiography could be performed to select the best treatment option. Endovascular treatment is employed infrequently in these cases but can be a viable option for select patients. We present a case of a bullet embolus to the right ventricle treated successfully with endovascular approach and discuss the technical aspects of this approach.

• A Phase I trial using local regional treatment, nonlethal irradiation, intratumoral and systemic polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid polylysine carboxymethylcellulose to treat liver cancer: in search of the abscopal effect

  Purpose: To determine the safety of an approach to immunologically enhance local treatment of hepatocellular cancer (HCC) by combining nonlethal radiation, local regional therapy with intratumoral injection, and systemic administration of a potent Toll-like receptor (TLR) immune adjuvant. Methods: Patients with HCC not eligible for liver transplant or surgery were subject to: 1) 3 fractions of 2-Gy focal nonlethal radiation to increase tumor antigen expression, 2) intra-/peri-tumoral (IT) injection of the TLR3 agonist, polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid polylysine carboxymethylcellulose (poly-ICLC), to induce an immunologic “danger” response in the tumor microenvironment with local regional therapy, and 3) systemic boosting of immunity with intramuscular poly-ICLC. Primary end points were safety and tolerability; secondary end points were progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years. Results: Eighteen patients with HCC not eligible for surgery or liver transplant were treated. Aside from 1 embolization-related severe adverse event, all events were ≤grade II. PFS was 66% at 6 months, 39% at 12 months, and 28% at 24 months. Overall 1-year survival was 69%, and 2-year survival 38%. In patients <60 years old, 2-year survival was 62.5% vs. 11.1% in patients aged >60 years ( P <0.05). Several patients had prolonged PFS and OS. Conclusion: Intra-tumoral injection of the TLR3 agonist poly-ICLC in patients with HCC is safe and tolerable when combined with local nonlethal radiation and local regional treatment. Further work is in progress to evaluate if this approach improves survival compared to local regional treatment alone and characterize changes in anticancer immunity.

• Endovascular coil embolisation of a giant pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm from a gunshot wound

  Trauma · 2014-09-15

  articleSenior author

  A 38-year-old female was brought to the trauma emergency room after sustaining multiple gunshot wounds to the right chest and abdomen. She had pulmonary contusions involving the right lung and a haemopneumothorax initially managed with chest tube placement. A few weeks into her hospitalisation, she was found to have a giant right pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm, which corresponded to a bullet tract. The pseudoaneurysm was causing a steal phenomenon and impaired perfusion of the right middle lobe and right lower lobe. Endovascular coil embolisation of the pseudoaneurysm was performed with restoration of perfusion to the right lung.
