He subsequently joined the division of Vascular and Interventional Radiology in 2010.
Dr. Fischman has a broad and active interest in minimally invasive treatments for venous disease including deep vein thrombosis (DVT), superficial varicose veins and venous portal venous hypertension including therapies such as Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS) and Balloon Occlusion Retrograde Transvenous Obliteration of Gastric Varices (BRTO).
He also focuses on minimally invasive therapies for primary and metastastic liver and kidney cancer including Yttrium-90 radioembolization, chemoembolization and thermal ablative therapies including state of the art microwave and cryoablation technologies.
Dr. Fischman is currently involved in numerous clinical trials and serves as Site Primary Investigator for the PEARL II Registry evaluating the use of of AngioJet® Thrombectomy in the peripheral vascular system. He is Co-Investigator on the HIQuality Study evaluating a new method of delivery for chemotherapeutic agents during chemoembolization procedures. In addition, he serves as Co-Investigator for the Early TIPS Trial for Ascites evaluating clinical outcomes in patients receiving early placement of TIPS for retractable ascites.
Dr. Fischman has written numerous peer-reviewed publications and lectures around the country at multiple scientific meetings. He is a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honor Society, the Society of Interventional Radiology, Radiologic Society of North America, American Roentgen Ray Society, Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography and the American College of Phlebology. He is board-certified by the American Board of Radiology in Diagnostic Radiology and Vascular and Interventional Radiology.
