Vascular and Interventional RadiologyEric Walser, MD - Director

Interventional radiology involves a variety of procedures including regional cancer therapy and endovascular stent grafting. We have a close dynamic collaboration with the surgical and oncology departments and run multiple radiology and multidisciplinary clinics. The section has, at UTMB Galveston, two angiography suites and a dedicated neurointerventional biplane room. Two interventional suites are also located at Victory Lakes, with one of the two being a state of the art Siemens Artis zee biplane system, with an additional such system being installed currently at UTMB Galveston (both feature DynaCT, allowing acquisition of cross sectional images). State of the art 1.5 and 3 T MRI units are available for MRA and MRCP. The interventional radiology section also utilizes multiple state of the art wide bore CT systems for CT biopsy guidance and intervention.
