Neuroendovascular Surgery

Dr. Kenan Alkhalili is a dual-trained physician specializing in Interventional Radiology and Neuroendovascular Surgery. He completed his Early Physician-in-Training (ESIR) preparation at Tufts, followed by an Interventional Radiology fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), and a specialized Neuroendovascular Surgery fellowship at Duke University Medical Center.

Dr. Alkhalili specializes in minimally invasive, image-guided endovascular procedures for complex cerebrovascular conditions, head and neck pathologies, and comprehensive body interventional radiology.

Neuroendovascular Surgery & Head/Neck

Aneurysms & Vascular Malformations: Endovascular coiling, flow-diverter reconstruction (e.g., Pipeline), and liquid embolic embolization (e.g., Onyx) for intracranial aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs).
Carotid & Intracranial Atherosclerotic Disease: Carotid artery stenting (CAS) and intracranial balloon angioplasty/stenting.
Ischemic Stroke: Acute mechanical thrombectomy for large vessel occlusions (LVO) and intracranial arterial revascularization.
Venous Sinus Interventions: Venous sinus manometry and venous sinus stenting for idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) / pseudotumor cerebri and pulsatile tinnitus.
Tumor & Hypervascular Embolization: Preoperative and definitive embolization of hypervascular head, neck, brain, and spinal tumors (e.g., meningiomas, paragangliomas, glomus tumors, juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas).
Epistaxis & Hemostasis: Endovascular embolization for severe refractory epistaxis and facial trauma.
Spinal & Diagnostic Procedures: Diagnostic cerebral and spinal angiography, as well as percutaneous spinal interventions.

Body Interventional Radiology & Embolization

Targeted Embolization Therapies:
- Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) & Adenomyosis Embolization: Minimally invasive catheter-based therapy for symptomatic uterine fibroids and adenomyosis, offering symptom relief, preservation of the uterus, and rapid recovery
- Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
- Varicocele Embolization for testicular varicose veins, scrotal pain, and fertility optimization
- Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) for chronic knee pain due to osteoarthritis
Portal & Hepatic Interventions: Specialized liver and portal venous disease management, including:
- Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS) creation and revision
  Variceal embolization (gastric/esophageal)
  Balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO)
  Portal vein embolization (PVE) prior to major liver resection
Interventional Oncology: Minimally invasive cancer therapies, including:
- Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE)
- Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT / Y-90 Radioembolization)
- Thermal Tumor Ablation (Microwave and Cryoablation)
Venous & Dialysis Access:
- Dialysis fistula/graft maintenance and revascularization
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) / pulmonary embolism (PE) thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy
- Venous stenting and complex venous reconstruction
Vascular & Filter Procedures: Inferior vena cava (IVC) filter placement and complex retrieval
