ISVIR Junior Wing is honoured to welcome Dr. Prof. Wael Saad, MD, FSIR, to our academic platform!
Dr. Saad currently serves as Professor & Director of Vascular & Interventional Radiology and Vice Chair of Image-Guided Procedures, Department of Radiology & Imaging Sciences, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, USA. Over the course of his career, he has built a reputation as one of the most respected and influential voices in Interventional Radiology worldwide — a clinician-scientist whose work has shaped how the field approaches complex vascular pathology.
His contributions to the management of portal hypertension and gastric variceal disease, in particular, have been nothing short of pioneering. From refining procedural technique to advancing the conceptual frameworks that guide combination therapy today, Dr. Saad’s research and clinical leadership continue to influence practice patterns across the globe. For a generation of trainees navigating one of the more nuanced and evolving areas of IR, his work has become foundational reading and foundational teaching.
We are privileged to have him deliver an exclusive session this August, titled: “Endovascular Management of Gastric Varices: Evolution in Concepts & Management and the Rise of Combination Therapy”
