We emphasize progressive independence and graded competence for all our IR residents and fellows. Residents learn to assess, intervene and manage patients from a wide range of backgrounds, and are given increasing autonomy in performing diagnostic and interventional procedures.

Our residents participate in the complete range of interventional procedures for all patients - from pediatric to geriatric – including the following:

Traditional Vascular Services

• Diagnostic angiography and angioplasty
• Stents and stent grafts (e.g., mesenteric artery stenting, aortic aneurysm repair, etc.)
• Arterial and venous thrombolysis
• Inferior vena cava (IVC) filter placement
• Uterine fibroid embolization
• Management of deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
• Hemodialysis graft management
• Embolization of vascular lesions
• Venous access

Nonvascular Interventional Procedures

• Imaging-guided biopsies and abscess drainages
• Percutaneous nephrostomy & ureteral stent placement
• Biliary drainage and stent placement
• Percutaneous feeding tubes
• Percutaneous osteoplasty (i.e. vertebroplasty)
