Stanford University Pediatric Interventional Radiology Fellowship
Fellows will encounter diverse pediatric disease entities and procedures, through both an intense direct clinical experience and a complementary didactic curriculum. A breadth of vascular and non-vascular interventional cases are performed, including post and pre-transplant interventions (liver, kidney, and GU interventions), oncologic ablative interventions (cryo-ablation, RFA, microwave, electrophoresis, HIFU), treatment and management of vascular anomalies, lymphatics imaging and interventions, as well as biopsies, central venous access procedures, drain placement/management, and management of DVT/PE and acute bleeding. Mentorship and research opportunities will be tailored to the Fellow’s educational and career goals for this rapidly evolving subspecialty.
The program averages around 3000 IR procedures a year, and is led by four pediatric interventional radiology attendings, four advanced practitioners, a cohesive group of nurses and techs, and benefits from dedicated anesthesia support. We have two dedicated angio-suites and a procedure room with c-arm capabilities.
Stanford Children’s Health and Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital (LPCH) facilities has 397 licensed beds and 590,000 annual clinic visits, over 65 Bay Area locations, high volume emergency department and obstetrical/neonatal service, the nationally designated Stanford Cancer Institute which runs numerous clinical trials and has a strong stem cell transplant program, a robust children’s heart center, and a Level 1 pediatric trauma center. Trainees leverage the vast resources of Stanford University, the School of Medicine, Stanford Children’s Health, and LPCH.
