"I am interested in venous disease because of the exciting advances that have recently occurred. The new scientific research and the development of non-surgical techniques for venous disease treatment have brought about a renaissance of interest in this field. As an interventional radiologist, I can beneficially translate these advances to the successful treatment of venous disease."
