Hugh McGregor, MD
Biography
Dr. Hugh McGregor is an Assistant Professor of Medical Imaging in the Vascular and Interventional Radiology division of the Department of Medical Imaging at the University of Arizona. Dr. McGregor's primary research interests include gallbladder cryoablation, a minimally invasive procedure to definitively treat gallbladder disease, endovascular endothelial cell sampling and genetic analysis in dialysis arteriovenous fistulas, and prostate artery embolization (PAE), a minimally invasive treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). His clinical and research interests also include lymphatic interventions, percutaneous liver, kidney, and lung ablations, prostate artery embolization, trans-arterial interventions for hepatocellular carcinoma and liver metastases, hepatobiliary interventions, venous disease, and inferior vena cava filters.
Cancer Focus
Dr. McGregor offers expertise in trans-arterial and percutaneous cancer interventions, including Yttrium-90 radioembolization, chemoembolization, microwave ablation, cryoablation, and radiofrequency ablation.
