As founder
and Director of the Melbourne Institute of Vascular and Interventional Radiology,
I would like to welcome you to our new website.
I am proud to announce MIVIR as a first for Melbourne and
Australia. It is a truly independent clinical Interventional Radiology practice
that provides state- of- the- art diagnosis and management of vascular disease. MIVIR is spearheaded by our dedicated non-invasive vascular
laboratory and our minimally invasive intervention suite, which is the outstanding
Siemens Endovascular unit at St Vincents Private Hospital.
Our unique multidisciplinary team approach incorporates a dedicated network
of highly trained technical, nursing and medical professionals working together
to provide the highest quality, world's best practice in minimally invasive
surgery.
Situated within St Vincents Private's Cardiovascular Care Centre, we employ
a holistic approach to the cardiovascular system, treating
it as a single unit rather than separating the heart from the rest of the
circulatory system. Our focus is therefore on prevention, diagnosis and treatment
as well as rehabilitation of the cardiovascular patient.
Recent advances have revolutionised the treatment of brain aneurysms, stroke
and carotid disease. MIVIR will provide all these interventions and we will
keep you updated on cutting edge innovations as they arrive.
We provide numerous diagnostic and therapeutic procedures outside the vascular
system and, in addition to the vascular procedures; we will showcase many
of the non-vascular interventions that we provide on our website in coming
weeks. From a simple venous access procedure to the latest in cancer interventions,
we will be continuously posting information about what we do. So please check
back often!
It is indeed my commitment to patients and referring doctors that we will
strive to provide unparalleled patient care, outstanding percutaneous interventions
and vascular ultrasound procedures.
Welcome to MIVIR
Dr John Vrazas
