Bio


Mona Ranade, MD is a radiologist specializing in Vascular & Interventional Radiology and is currently a Clinical Associate Professor of Radiology at Stanford University. She is a board-certified interventional radiologist with a clinical and academic focus on venous thromboembolism (DVT and PE), peripheral arterial disease, superficial venous disease, and women’s interventional health.

She completed her residency in Diagnostic Radiology at the Medical College of Wisconsin (2012–2016) and a fellowship in Vascular & Interventional Radiology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York (2016–2017). She began her career in academic medicine at the Mount Sinai Health System, where she practiced from 2017 to 2020, followed by five years on faculty at UCLA Health (2020–2025) prior to joining Stanford.

Dr. Ranade is recognized as a thought leader in the treatment of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, with extensive experience in managing complex venous disease. She has participated in several clinical trials in this space and currently serves as the national principal investigator for the APEX-AV IDE trial evaluating the AngioDynamics AlphaVac device. Her scholarly work includes multiple peer-reviewed and non–peer-reviewed publications that have advanced clinical understanding and techniques in venous intervention.

In addition to her venous expertise, Dr. Ranade has a strong clinical focus on arterial disease, including the treatment of claudication and critical limb ischemia. She is also highly experienced in the treatment of superficial vein disease, offering comprehensive, minimally invasive options to improve both clinical outcomes and quality of life for her patients.

Dr. Ranade has a deep commitment to improving care for women through minimally invasive therapies, with special research and clinical interests in DVT, PE, and arterial disease in women, as well as uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, and pelvic congestion syndrome. Her work seeks to address the unique presentations and treatment needs of female patients across a range of vascular and interventional conditions.

A proponent of patient-centered innovation, Dr. Ranade has championed procedural advancements such as radial artery access to improve safety, comfort, and recovery. Her approach integrates evidence-based care with a focus on individualized treatment.

Dr. Ranade’s clinical leadership, research contributions, and advocacy for women’s health continue to influence the evolving landscape of interventional radiology.

    Abstract

    The NCCN Guidelines for Cancer-Associated Venous Thromboembolic Disease provide strategies for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in adult patients with cancer. VTE is a common and life-threatening condition in patients with cancer, and its management often requires multidisciplinary efforts. The NCCN panel is comprised of specialists spanning various fields, including cardiology, hematology, medical oncology, internal medicine, interventional radiology, and pharmacology. The content featured in this issue specifically addresses the evaluation and recommended treatment options outlined in the NCCN Guidelines for the diverse subtypes of cancer-associated VTE.

  • Peripheral Non-cerebrovascular Arterial Stent Retriever Applications VASCULAR AND ENDOVASCULAR SURGERY Moran, J., Lookstein, R. A., Ranade, M. 2022; 56 (1): 62-69

    Abstract

    Several treatment options exist for acute intra-abdominal arterial thromboembolic events, including systemic thrombolytics, endovascular therapy, and less commonly surgery. A novel alternative treatment intervention for acute intra-abdominal arterial thrombus is the use of stent retriever (SR) devices, tools traditionally applied for treatment of acute vascular thrombosis in stroke patients. This brief report presents two cases of acute intra-abdominal arterial thrombosis successfully managed by deployment of SRs. Furthermore, it details the history, device mechanism, and design of SRs and describes cases in literature involving effective extracranial SR application.
