Our VIR faculty perform 100% IR, including the gamut of image-guided minimally-invasive procedures with strong emphasis on vascular, oncologic, transplant, hepatobiliary and pediatric IR services. VIR faculty are engaged in all facets of image-guided intervention, including aortic disease, PAD, venous disease, lymphatic and vascular malformations, pulmonary disease, interventional oncology, peripheral skeletal bone ablation and cement augmentation, visceral tumor ablation, advanced portal hypertension and transplant interventions, gynecologic interventions, palliative interventions and pain management. The VIR-division is a clinically-based practice and faculty are integrally involved in multidisciplinary tumor boards, portal hypertension clinics, vascular clinics, and transplant programs. In addition, a team of 6 Advanced Practice Nurses (NP's) supports a robust outpatient VIR clinic and a team of PA's the inpatient consult and procedural services for adults and children.
Vascular Interventional Radiology is one of 9 clinical specialty units, which together with our robust basic science division, form the Department of Radiology faculty. With approximately 150 faculty, we consistently rank near the top nationally in NIH funding, and rank within the top 10 post graduate radiology education programs. The Division provides training for 5 VIR fellows, 15 IR-DR residents, and 32 diagnostic radiology residents. We have several advanced practice providers and continue to hire staff to meet our growing practice.
