Philip A. Vélez, M.D.

My particular interest within interventional radiology includes treatment of liver disease. This includes both the management of liver cancer using Y90 radioembolization, and microwave ablations, as well as the endovascular management of cirrhosis and hypertension. I believe interventional radiology is a cutting-edge field with rapidly evolving technologies that allow us to treat our patients in a minimally invasive strategy with typically very low risk. Our comprehensive training as interventional radiologists also allows us to treat a variety of conditions across multiple organ systems. This includes everything from peripheral vascular disease to uterine fibroids.

Colorado Advanced Endovascular manages a wide variety of conditions with both conservative and endovascular strategies. As many patients aren’t familiar with our field, I think it’s important to expand interventional radiology services in the Denver area to ensure patients are provided with all treatment options and receive the best care possible!

Beyond Radiology:
Outside of work, I enjoy playing racquet sports including tennis, racquetball, and most recently, pickleball. I also enjoy reading historical non-fiction novels.
