Philosophy of Care
Interventional Radiology is a cutting edge medical specialty providing innovative minimally invasive image guided care across a spectrum of health care needs ranging from cancer therapies and chronic disease management to life saving acute interventions in trauma and other acutely ill patients.
We provide modern less invasive alternatives to traditional surgical therapies and often can provide care in patients who otherwise have no options. IR sits on the forefront of medicine leading the way through innovation.
My practice reflects the principals of my field seeking provide cutting edge, quality, and patient centered care across the breadth of interventions that I offer. I aim to work collaboratively with primary and specialty physicians and my patients to offer the tailored care most appropriate for them.
Clinical Interests
Dr. Morshedi is a Fellowship-Trained Interventional Radiologist offering minimally invasive image guided care for adults and children in both the hospital inpatient and outpatient services with the full range of both vascular and non-vascular interventions including oncologic interventions, hepatobiliary and gastrointestinal interventions, trauma interventions, arterial interventions, peripheral vascular interventions, pulmonary interventions, and venous interventions.
He has a comprehensive venous practice, offering minimally invasive techniques in the treatment of venous diseases, advanced IVC filter retrieval, venous re-canalization for chronic lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT), May-Thurner syndrome, and other veno-occlusive diseases.
He also works with a multidisciplinary group of hepatologists, liver and transplant surgeons, and oncologists to offer minimally invasive portal hypertension interventions including complex portomesenteric recanalizations, TIPS/DIPS, and BRTO/CARTO procedures, cholangioscopy for endoscopic hepatobiliary interventions, and targeted liver cancer therapies such as Y90 radioembolization, chemoembolization, and thermal and non-thermal ablation for primary and metastatic liver cancer.
He works with oncology and sarcoma specialists to provide targeted therapies for primary and metastatic tumors including lung, renal and bone tumors and other soft tissue tumors such as desmoids.
He also partners with specialists in various fields to offer women's health interventions such as uterine fibroid embolization and pelvic congestion syndrome treatments as well as men's health interventions such as varicocele embolization.
Research/Academic Interests
Dr. Morshedi's research focuses on novel techniques, devices, and interventions to improve and expand patient care within interventional radiology and specifically interventional oncology and hepatobiliary interventions.
Dr. Morshedi is involved in developing and promoting global health initiatives and education with a focus on diagnostic and interventional radiology.
