Welcome to the Vascular and Interventional Radiology Web site at Stanford University Medical Center. Our division is renowned for its long history of outstanding patient care, education and research. 

Many endovascular treatments were pioneered at Stanford including thrombolysis for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and stent-graft repair of thoracic aortic aneurysms.

Our group offers the entire range of vascular and nonvascular image-guided procedures. We are experts in the endovascular treatment of arterial disease from angioplasty and stenting of occluded blood vessels to endograft repair of aneurysms. 

For venous diseases, we offer state-of-the-art therapy for DVT and varicose veins.

In the realm of oncology, we specialize in image-guided tumor treatments including chemoembolization, radiofrequency ablation, and radioembolization.

In women's health, we offer a variety of services to alleviate pelvic pain including uterine artery embolization for the treatment of symptomatic fibroids. 

Our advantage, as interventional radiologists, is the ability to use advanced imaging modalities including digital subtraction fluoroscopy, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasound to provide the latest endovascular therapies.

As pioneers of minimally invasive surgery, we use our techniques to eliminate the need for open surgery and allow shorter recovery times. Interventional Radiology has been described as the surgery of the new millennium.

Our goal is to deliver safe, effective, and compassionate care to all of our patients. Whether you are a referring physician or a patient, we invite you to explore our section and to contact us with questions. 

We look forward to serving you.
