Joseph Koury, MD

A Specialist in Interventional Radiology

Joseph Koury, MD, specializes in interventional radiology. He is trained in using image-guided techniques to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions without the need for traditional surgery. By using imaging such as X-rays, CT scans and ultrasound, he can perform minimally invasive procedures that often result in shorter recovery times, reduced risk and less pain for patients.

He treats a variety of common conditions, including:

  • Biliary and urinary obstructions
  • Bleeding resulting from trauma
  • Chronic pelvic venous congestion
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and blood clots
  • Gastrointestinal hemorrhage not amenable to endoscopic treatment
  • Liver and kidney tumors
  • Peripheral artery disease (PAD)
  • Spinal compression fractures
  • Uterine fibroids

Dr. Koury also provides minimally invasive services, including:

  • Angioplasty and stent placement
  • Bone marrow biopsy
  • Chest tubes for large pleural effusions or pneumothorax
  • Embolization of pelvic veins in women for chronic pelvic congestion
  • Endovascular repair of aneurysms, excluding the aorta and cerebral vessels
  • Gastrostomy and gastrojejunostomy tube placement
  • Image-guided biopsies and drain placements
  • IVC filter placement and removal for clot prevention in high-risk patients
  • Maintenance of existing dialysis fistula and grafts
  • Paracentesis and thoracentesis
  • Percutaneous nephrostomy tubes, suprapubic catheters and nephroureteral and ureteral stents
  • Long-term drain placement for palliative therapy for recurrent malignant effusions or ascites
  • Plug-assisted portosystemic shunt embolization for large gastric varices
  • Port and catheter insertions for chemotherapy and dialysis
  • Powerline placements for patients who are not candidates for PICC but need long-term IV access
  • Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt creations (TIPS)
  • Tumor biopsies with potential for ablation (cryoablation, radiofrequency or microwave)
  • Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE)
  • Varicocele embolization
  • Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty for compression fractures and spinal pain relief
