Interventional Radiology

The Division of Interventional Radiology offers two one-year fellowships for physicians who have completed interventional or pediatric radiology fellowship training.

The pediatric interventional radiology fellows will be exposed to all aspects of vascular and nonvascular interventional radiology as they apply to children: the use of appropriate pediatric patient-care techniques, vascular and organ access techniques using appropriately sized devices, and the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of pediatric conditions.

Among the procedures commonly performed are:
• Embolization, sclerotherapy and laser photocoagulation of vascular anomalies. These can be venous, arteriovenous, or lymphatic malformations or vascular tumors.
• Tissue biopsy and drainage procedures.
• Enteric and venous accesses.
• Neurovascular angiography and interventions.
• Radiofrequency ablation.
• Biliary and GU interventions.

Facilities and Equipment:
• Three angiography rooms (Two biplane Siemens flat-panel systems with rotational and dyna-CT capabilities and one single plane)

• Integrated IR recovery unit.

The hospital’s Department of Anesthesia provides daily coverage with two or three teams.
