Clinical Services

Loyola Medicine's Interventional Independent Residency program includes our IR Section, which is composed of five full-time faculty and provides exposure to a complete range of both vascular and nonvascular interventional procedures.

We perform approximately 15,000 procedures (7,600 patient encounters) per year at Loyola University Medical Center, our 545 bed tertiary care hospital and level one trauma center, which includes four dedicated procedure suites including state-of-the-art cone beam-CT and rotational angiography. Procedures are also performed in adjacent CT and in the operating room when appropriate.

A six-bay observation unit is adjacent to the procedural area and provides streamlined care for outpatients. In December 2016, the program will be moving to a new procedure space with state of the art angio equipment as well as enlarged patient holding rooms and adjacent clinic space.

The program emphasizes a collaborative approach to patient care through close working relationships with medical and surgical services.
