Vascular & Interventional Experts

What Vascular & Interventional Experts does

Vascular & Interventional Experts (VIE) is a private interventional radiology practice headquartered in Edina, Minnesota, operating as an operating division of Infinite Health Collaborative (i-Health), a physician-owned management organization that provides shared administrative functions including billing (Revo Health) and payment processing (Assort Health). Founded in 2020, the practice employs 16 staff across two clinic locations in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area (Edina at 4100 Minnesota Drive, Suite 310, and Woodbury at 237 Radio Drive, Suite 220) and holds hospital privileges at Edina Specialty Surgery Center and Fairview Health Systems for facility-based and inpatient procedures.

VIE's core offering is minimally invasive, image-guided interventional radiology across six clinical verticals: venous and arterial disease (peripheral artery disease, chronic limb-threatening ischemia, varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis, leg and foot ulcers, iliac venous disease, restless legs); spine and joint health (genicular artery embolization, kyphoplasty/vertebroplasty, sacral augmentation, frozen shoulder); women's health (uterine fibroid embolization, fallopian tube recanalization, pelvic venous insufficiency); men's health (prostate artery embolization, varicocele embolization); cancer care (central venous access, cryoablation for renal cell carcinoma); and hemorrhoid embolization. Advanced limb-preservation work is delivered via Deep Venous Arterialization (DVA), with reported 60-80% one-year limb salvage rates. The clinical team comprises three named providers — Dr. Peter Bretzman (25+ years experience), Michele DuCharme Rauma DNP (25+ years, nationally recognized for limb preservation), and Molly Phillips DNP (10+ years) — supported by registered nurses, sonographers, radiologic technologists, and patient services representatives.

VIE's go-to-market positions it as "the specialists to the specialists," accepting referrals from orthopedists, gynecologists, cardiologists, podiatrists, oncologists, and primary care providers. Revenue is generated primarily through fee-for-service medical procedures billed to insurance (Aetna, BC/BS, Cigna, HealthPartners, Humana, Medica, United Healthcare, Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare), with patient responsibility for co-pays collected at time of service. CareCredit financing and an Assort Health-powered online bill pay portal extend payment optionality. Patient-facing digital infrastructure includes Phreesia online scheduling and the FollowMyHealth patient portal. Marketing channels combine specialist referrals, an SEO-driven website with educational blog content, patient testimonials, and social media presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves4 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Others

• Penumbra: Medical device company developing and commercializing catheters, embolization coils, and thrombectomy systems used in many of the vascular and IR procedures VIE performs. An enabling technology vendor rather than a competitor.
• Boston Scientific: Global medical device manufacturer with peripheral vascular, interventional oncology, and embolization product lines. A supplier/adjacent player rather than a direct competitor to VIE's clinical services.

Direct peers

• American Endovascular: Multi-location interventional radiology and vascular practice offering embolization, venous disease, and minimally invasive procedures. Closely comparable to VIE in service mix, physician-led operating model, and specialist referral GTM.
• RIA Endovascular: Specialty interventional radiology practice in the Mid-Atlantic offering similar minimally invasive vascular and embolization procedures. Operates in the same niche as VIE with a physician-led, multi-site outpatient delivery model.
• Center for Vein Restoration: National specialty practice focused on vein and vascular disorders. Comparable specialist-physician model and outpatient delivery, with overlapping service offerings in varicose veins, venous insufficiency, and related vascular conditions.
• Center for Vascular Medicine: Multi-state specialty practice focused on vascular disease diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment. Directly comparable to VIE's vascular service line (PAD, venous disease, ulcerations) in scope and care setting.
• USA Vein Clinics: Large network of outpatient vein specialty clinics offering minimally invasive venous procedures. Overlaps with VIE's varicose vein, venous insufficiency, and DVT service lines, though more concentrated on venous care.

Broad incumbents

• M Health Fairview: Major Minnesota-based academic health system with hospital and clinic IR services. VIE is already affiliated with Fairview Health Systems; the system represents both a referral partner and a competitor for higher-acuity IR cases in the same metro area.
• Allina Health: Large Twin Cities-area health system with employed vascular surgery and interventional radiology programs. Competes with VIE for in-network referrals and integrated patient care across the same geographic footprint.
• Park Nicollet HealthPartners: Integrated Minnesota health system with vascular and IR services. Competes for the same Twin Cities referral pool and patient base that VIE serves.
