Interventional Radiology(IR)
Interventional Radiology (IR) offers a broad spectrum of minimally invasive, image-guided procedures to diagnose and treat complex neuro, vascular, and organ-related conditions, with smaller incisions, reduced pain, and faster recovery.
Neuro and Vascular interventions include:
- Cerebral angiography, spinal angiography, selective and peripheral angiography
- Acute stroke intervention- thrombolysis / thrombectomy
- Aneurysm coiling, balloon-assisted coiling, stent-assisted coiling
- Carotid and intracranial stenting
- Middle meningeal artery embolisation, inferior petrosal sinus sampling
- Peripheral angioplasty and stenting
- AV fistulogram, venography, peripheral vein thrombolysis
- IVC filter placement and retrieval
- Endovascular radiofrequency ablation for Varicose vien
Embolisation and tumor-directed therapies include:
- Embolisation of vascular lesions, liquid embolisation of vascular malformations, AVM/AVF embolisation
- Pre-operative tumor embolisation, visceral embolisation, GI bleeder embolisation
- Uterine artery embolisation for fibroids
- Transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE)
Hepatobiliary, and renal interventions include:
- PTBD (Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage) and PTC (percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography)
- Biliary plasty and biliary stenting
- Percutaneous cholecystostomy
- Percutaneous nephrostomy
- Trans-jugular liver biopsy
- TIPS procedure
Spine, bone, tumor, and pain-management procedures include:
- Intervertebral disc ablation
- Radiofrequency ablation of tumors
- CT-guided intrathecal injections and targeted epidural blood patches
- Thyroid alcohol ablation
- Sclerotherapy
- Ultrasound-guided steroid injections
Vascular access and dialysis-related procedures include:
- Tunneled catheter placement and permanent catheter insertion
- PICC line placement and chemoport insertion
- Hemodialysis fistula revision and AV fistulograms
Supportive, drainage, and other image-guided procedures include:
- Nasojejunal and gastrostomy tube placements
- Image-guided drainage of collections and abscesses under CT or ultrasound guidance
- FNAC, targeted biopsies (renal, breast, tumor, bone)
