Dr. William Julien is board-certified in Interventional Radiology, a medical field specializing in minimally invasive procedures. With more than 30 years of experience, he holds the distinction of being the first physician in the United States to open an Office Interventional Suite and is a co-founder and Past President of the Outpatient Endovascular and Interventional Society (OEIS).
In his practice at South Florida Vascular Associates, Dr. Julien uses advanced imaging to guide small catheters through the bloodstream, treating a wide range of conditions such as peripheral arterial disease (PAD), benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), uterine fibroids, hemorrhoids and more.
“The beauty of what I do is that there are no scalpels involved. I don’t even own one,” Dr. Julien chuckles. “Instead, we use a small needle to enter the bloodstream without making an incision.
“We have great news for male patients: A new cutting-edge procedure called prostate artery embolization (PAE) is now available at our acclaimed National Training Center. Half of the men aged 50, and 80% of those aged 80, have enlarged prostates due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Through a small needle puncture, a catheter is threaded through the bloodstream into the vessels supplying the prostate. Tiny particles are injected to starve the prostate of its blood supply, shrinking it and allowing the patient to urinate freely. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with no bladder catheterization and no sexual side effects.
“Another innovative procedure we offer is uterine artery embolization (UAE) for fibroids. Like PAE, UAE shrinks the fibroids and eliminates their symptoms, allowing women to preserve their uterus and avoid a hysterectomy,” Dr. Julien explains.
