Baljendra S Kapoor

Baljendra S Kapoor serves as Clinical Professor of Radiology at the University of Michigan Medical School, leading the Section of Vascular and Interventional Radiology and directing VIR Quality and Safety initiatives. His expertise drives innovation in image-guided vascular therapies and clinical safety protocols.

Education:

• MB BS, Institute of Medical Sciences, 1990

Research focuses on advancing interventional radiology through:

• Portal vein embolization and liver-directed therapies
• Dialysis access interventions and venous disease management
• Quality improvement frameworks for procedural safety

His work bridges technical innovation with practical clinical implementation across complex vascular conditions.

Recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate leadership in comparative effectiveness studies (e.g., liver vein deprivation vs. portal embolization) and national guideline development through ACR Appropriateness Criteria panels for vascular conditions.

Scientific recognition includes:

• Fellow of the Society of Interventional Radiology (FSIR)
• Fellow of the American College of Radiology (FACR)

As an active mentor, Dr. Kapoor guides trainees in VIR techniques while leading multi-center research on central line infections and combined radiation therapies. His quality initiatives directly impact clinical safety standards.

He contributes to the Samuel and Jean Frankel Cardiovascular Center, integrating interventional radiology into multidisciplinary cardiovascular care pathways.
