But what if you were ill but did know your treatment options? In fact, most people have never heard of MIIPs, even if one could save their life.

the II is a not-for-profit 501c3 organization with a mission of improving public awareness of minimally invasive, image-guided procedures through the production of multimedia health resources There are minimally invasive, image-guided procedures (MIIPs) to treat blocked blood vessels, cancer, strokes, aneurysms, bleeding, infertility, and so much more. Patients empowered to make informed healthcare decisions have better outcomes. Increased public awareness about MIIPs will lead to

1) more informed healthcare choices,
2) better access to MIIPs,
3) better healthcare outcomes,
4) overall healthcare cost savings as MIIPs are better utilized,
5) greater allocation of healthcare resources to support MIIPs, and
6) more funding of research and innovation to advance MIIPs.

Last night, we celebrated the world premiere of Same Care, Everywhere at the Western Angiographic & Interventional Society 2026 meeting.

Nearly 100 people joined us for this special first screening, and we were so moved by the response to the film. To everyone who was in the room with us, and to all those who couldn’t be there but were with us in spirit — thank you. Your support means so much to us.

Same Care, Everywhere is ultimately not just a film about what is possible. It’s an invitation to help make this care possible — in more places, for more people.

A heartfelt thank you to our incredible event sponsors Sirtex, Cook, and TriSalus and to Western Angio for hosting and supporting the world premiere. We’re deeply grateful to everyone who helped bring this story to life and shared in this milestone with us, whether in person or from afar.

This is just the beginning.

Brain health is one of medicine's greatest frontiers. Treating brain conditions requires immense precision. When time and accuracy matter most, the way we treat the brain can change everything.

Through image-guided techniques, Interventional Radiologists can reach areas of the brain and vascular system without open surgery, treating conditions such as strokes and aneurysms in ways that were once unimaginable.

Today, on World Brain Day, we celebrate brain health, and the teaching and discovery that continue to expand what's possible in treating the brain.

Uterine fibroids, there’s a MIIP for that 💡

April is National Minority Health Month, and in tackling healthcare disparities, awareness matters.

Fibroids disproportionately affect women of color, often causing severe symptoms and impacting quality of life.

✨ Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) offers a minimally invasive alternative to surgery.

✔️ No large incisions
✔️ Faster recovery
✔️ Uterus-sparing

Better awareness leads to personalized choices and better healthcare.

Knee pain, there’s a MIIP for that 🦴💥

Spring is here, which means more time outside, more walks, more movement, more life.

But if knee pain from osteoarthritis is holding you back, it might be time to explore your options.

There’s more than one minimally invasive path forward:

➡️ Image-guided joint injections can deliver targeted medication right where it’s needed for relief
➡️ Genicular Artery Embolization (G*E) helps reduce inflammation by targeting the blood flow contributing to knee pain

✔️ No major surgery
✔️ Minimally invasive options
✔️ Get back to doing what you love

This spring, don’t sit on the sidelines.

What is a DVT?🩸

A Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot in a vein, typically in your leg or your arm. This is a serious condition that, if untreated, could lead to the clot breaking and going somewhere else in your body and blocking blood flow, like your lungs, which is then called a "pulmonary embolism."

There are medications that help to treat these blood clots, but sometimes, depending on where the clot is or how big it is, as well as other factors, medications alone are not enough. Fortunately, there’s a MIIP for that!

Minimally invasive treatments can:

⚡ Break up clots quickly
⚡ Restore blood flow
⚡ Reduce long-term complications
