Women's health

Special issue on women's health

As part of his efforts to raise the profile of women’s health, Prof. Jim Reekers (CVIR Endovascular Editor-in-Chief) invited us to participate as guest editors for the journal's special issue dedicated to this important topic.

As guest editors we commissioned four articles, inviting world-renowned experts to share their knowledge with the IR community. The articles focus on a few key treatments for conditions that affect women, from uterine artery embolization to ovarian vein embolization, as well as fallopian tube recanalization and deep venous stenting.

We hope you enjoy browsing through this collection, and encourage you to share it with your colleagues.
