MISSION STATEMENT: Vascular and Interventional Radiology is one of the most rapidly expanding areas in medicine and has led the current movement toward minimally invasive therapy. Our patient population ranges from infancy to the elderly and includes procedures spanning the full range of the field. These include: treatment of liver transplantation complications such as hepatic artery or portal vein stenosis; stenting of biliary stenosis; abscess drainage; gastrostomy and gastrojejunostomy; central venous access; placement of temporary and permanent inferior vena caval filters; embolization of both upper and lower gastrointestinal bleeding; TIPS; uterine fibroid embolization; local tumor ablation including radiofrequency ablation and chemoembolization; thoracic interventions; islet cell transplantation, peripheral arterial interventions such as angioplasty and thrombolysis, dialysis related interventions; and urologic procedures. We function both as an admitting service and in a consulting role. Our section also interprets the non-invasive vascular studies such as MRA and 64-slice CTA. These are performed with state-of-the-art equipment which rates the best in the region. By utilizing the most sophisticated equipment and continuing to perform procedures which are at the leading edge of the field, we continue to maintain and demand the highest quality in patient care
