Dr. Amy Deipolyi Elected to Society of Interventional Radiology Fellowship

Amy Deipolyi, MD, PhD, an associate professor at the WVU School of Medicine Charleston Campus and an Interventional Radiologist at the CAMC Vascular Center of Excellence, has been elected by the Society for Interventional Cardiology (SIR) for a SIR Fellowship (FSIR), one of the most prestigious honors granted to the Society’s members in recognition of professional achievement.

Based on outstanding credentials, achievements and community contributions to interventional radiology and SIR and SIR Foundation, those who are elected to Fellowship signal to peers and patients their commitment to quality interventional radiology care through the use of the FSIR designation.

Board certified by the American Board of Radiology in vascular and interventional radiology, Dr. Deipolyi has a distinguished clinical career as an attending physician and clinical teacher at NYU Hospitals and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York prior to her position at West Virginia University and CAMC in Charleston, W.Va..

Dr. Deipolyi is also being honored by SIR for her abstract, Immune Activation Markers and Response to Radioembolization of Breast Cancer Liver Metastasis: Pilot Study by the Society of Interventional Radiology. The abstract has been awarded for presentation as an Abstract of the Year at the SIR 2022 Annual Scientific Meeting to be held in Boston in June.

The Abstract of the Year designation was created to highlight the best scientific work submitted to the Society, and will also be highlighted in the Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology (JVIR) 2022 annual scientific meeting supplement and will be a citable reference.

The Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) is a nonprofit, professional medical society representing more than 8,000 practicing interventional radiology physicians, trainees, medical students, scientists and clinical associates, including physician assistants, nurse practitioners, radiologic technologists and paramedical professionals. SIR’s members work in a variety of settings and at different professional levels—from medical students and residents to university faculty and private practice physicians. The society’s core purpose and mission is to work with its members to deliver patient-centered care through image-guided therapy.

Interventional radiologists pioneered minimally invasive treatment, which reaches the source of a medical problem through blood vessels or directly through a tiny incision in the skin to deliver a precise, targeted treatment. Interventional radiology treatments performed by board-certified experts can deliver solutions with less risk, less pain and less recovery time than traditional surgery. These treatments are delivered in collaboration with the patients’ care team. The specialty was founded in the early 1960s. Today interventional radiology is synonymous with modern medicine.
