Head shot of Steven Citron

Overview

Steven J. Citron, MD has practiced interventional radiology for 33 years in metro Atlanta. After completing his fellowship in Vascular and Interventional Radiology at Emory University School of Medicine in 1991, Dr. Citron became the first fellowship-trained interventional radiologist (IR) at Northside Hospital in Atlanta, where he practiced until June 2000. During his tenure at Northside, Dr. Citron grew the IR practice at Northside by 300%, including performing the first uterine artery embolization (UAE) in Atlanta there in May 1997.

Dr. Citron then joined the Piedmont Radiology practice in July 2000, working at Piedmont Atlanta Hospital, the tertiary-care hub hospital for the 20-hospital Piedmont Healthcare system, for the next 23 years. He and his IR partners performed the full gamut of IR procedures, including all types of embolotherapy; liver-directed therapies in support of their active liver-transplant service; renal interventions in their active renal transplant population and non-transplant patients; peripheral vascular arterial and venous interventions; all types of venous access device placements/implantations; osteoplasty of the spine and pelvis, and dialysis access management. For the past several years, his IR practice ranked among the highest-volume practices performing transjugular intrahepatic porto-systemic shunt (TIPS). They were a full-service interventional oncology practice, staffed an outpatient consultation clinic, and participated in weekly multidisciplinary hepatobiliary and liver-cancer conferences.

Dr Citron has been an invited lecturer at many hospitals and professional society meetings, including the Society of Interventional Radiology, Association of Vascular and Interventional Radiographers, and the Radiological Society of North America. Some of the topics he has presented include angiographic embolization of uterine fibroids, angiographic treatment of pelvic hemorrhage, treatment of hepatic malignancies, treatment of peripheral vascular disease, percutaneous cholangioplasty, and treatment of veno-occlusive disease. He has also consulted with industry in training physicians in performing TIPS and developing a robust TIPS practice. Dr Citron is a member of several professional societies, including the Society of Interventional Radiology, Radiological Society of North America, and American College of Radiology. Dr Citron has authored or co-authored numerous articles that have been published in a variety of medical journals, including the Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology and Radiology. He has been a member of the Society of Interventional Radiology Standards of Practice Committee and the American College of Radiologys Vascular and Interventional Radiology Maintenance of Certification/Certificate of Added Qualification Exam committee. He was awarded the title of fellow of the Society of Interventional Radiology in 2018.

Dr. Citron earned his undergraduate (BA, Economics) and medical degrees (MD) from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. He subsequently completed two years of post-graduate residency training in internal medicine, a four-year residency in diagnostic radiology, and a fellowship in vascular/interventional radiology, all at the Emory University School of Medicine. He was section chief of interventional radiology at Northside Hospital in Atlanta from 1991-2000 and at the Piedmont Healthcare Hospitals from 2002-2010. He served on the Board of Directors of Piedmont Atlanta Hospital from September 2019-March 2023. He is board-certified in diagnostic radiology and was subspecialty board-certified in vascular interventional radiology by the American Board of Radiology from 1997-2017. He has been annually chosen by his physician peers as one of Atlantas Top Docs by Atlanta magazine between 2009-2023.
