An Introduction to Current State of Obesity Interventions: A Guide for the Interventional Radiologist

No other specialty sits so firmly at the intersection of Translational Research and Clinical Application than does Interventional Radiology. This privileged location, coupled with a drive to innovate, re-invent ourselves, and bring cutting edge care to new patient populations, has led to the rapid expansion of Interventional Radiology into nearly every area of Medicine. In doing so we have created minimally invasive solutions to some of the most challenging clinical problems. What other disease process is currently more prevalent and destructive than Obesity, an epidemic that affects both adults and children throughout the world? With this in mind, I believe this disease should be the next target for innovation in Interventional Radiology.
