Highlights
I'm Dr. John Fritz Angle, Interventional Radiologist here at the University of Virginia. Interventional Radiology is a specialty that provides procedures through minimally invasive means, fix a variety of problems. Most of what we do is open up vessels that are narrowed, feeding critical organs and our extremities. We also do procedures involving the veins, and patients who have blockage in their veins can get swelling in their legs or get large varicose veins on their legs. So we may do some procedures to block up abnormal vessels in the legs or open up narrowed vessels in the body. One of the main things that drew me to intervention radiology is these procedures provide instant relief for a lot of patients. Patients come into the hospital with their legs hurting when they walk, and the next day they leave, and they're not hurting. Patients come into our vein clinic with dilated, swollen legs and a week later, they come back and say, "My legs feel so much lighter. They feel so much better." So it's the instant gratification, it's the instant feedback that makes it so rewarding and drew me to this field and keeps me excited about it every day. The reason our patients get such great care is not because of one individual, but because of an entire team we have. I truly think it's unmatched anywhere. We have the best physicians, the best staff, our nurses, our technologists, bring their A-game every day. Everyone is just such a pleasure to work with and so dedicated to the patient. I've been faculty here at the University of Virginia for nearly 25 years. And certainly, a lot has changed but also a lot has stayed the same. Certainly, most importantly, the people I think have stayed the same. We have amazing, caring physicians, staff that work every day, very hard in intervention radiology to help us take care of these patients.
