Vascular Interventional Radiology

Varicose Vein Laser Ablation/ Sclerotherapy/ Glue Embolization.

This is a minimally invasive method for treating enlarged and twisted veins in the legs including laser ablation, sclerotherapy, and adhesive embolization. These treatments work by sealing damaged veins and redirecting blood flow to healthy veins. They aid to relieve leg pain, edema, heaviness, skin discoloration, and apparent varicose veins. These techniques require no significant surgery, involve few cuts or sutures, and result in a faster recovery with less discomfort.

Peripheral Angioplasty with Stenting

Peripheral angioplasty with stenting is a minimally invasive surgery for opening blood vessels in the legs that are obstructed or restricted due to diabetes or fatty deposits in the arteries (atherosclerosis). A small balloon is used to expand the clogged artery, and a stent (a small metal mesh tube) may be inserted to keep the blood vessel open and increase blood flow. This treatment alleviates pain, heals foot sores, prevents gangrene, and lowers the danger of amputation while allowing for speedier recovery without requiring major surgery.

Venoplasty

Venoplasty is a minimally invasive surgery that opens restricted or obstructed veins and increases blood flow. During the treatment, a tiny balloon is placed through a thin tube and inflated inside the vein to dilate it. It is frequently performed on patients who have edema, discomfort, dialysis access issues, or decreased blood flow owing to vein obstruction. Venoplasty improves circulation, alleviates symptoms, and restores normal vein function without the need for extensive surgery.

TEVAR / EVAR

TEVAR and EVAR are minimally invasive techniques for treating bulge or weakening sections of the body's main blood conduit, the aorta. A small cut in the groin is used to insert a specific stent graft into the aorta, strengthening the weak spot and preventing rupture or internal hemorrhage. When compared to open surgery, these treatments provide for safer treatment of aortic aneurysms with less discomfort, smaller incisions, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery.

Angioembolization

Angioembolization is a minimally invasive Interventional Radiology (IR) procedure that treats abnormal or active bleeding in the body. A catheter is introduced through the blood vessels using imaging guidance to locate the cause of the bleeding, and the damaged vessel is blocked using specific materials. Some of the common conditions treated include tumors, pseudoaneurysms, gastrointestinal bleeding, trauma-related bleeding, and other vascular anomalies. Angioembolization facilitates a quicker recovery with fewer risks, lessens the need for major surgery, and helps halt bleeding.

Thrombectomy for DVT

This is a minimally invasive Interventional Radiology (IR) operation that removes blood clots from deep veins, typically in the legs. A catheter-based device is placed through the blood vessels under imaging guidance to break up and remove the clot, therefore restoring normal blood flow. This surgery is widely used in patients with severe DVT, which causes limb swelling, discomfort, and an increased risk of complications such as pulmonary embolism. Thrombectomy relieves symptoms immediately, decreases vein damage, improves circulation, and lowers the risk of long-term problems without requiring significant surgery.

Mesenteric Ischemia (arterial/ venous)

Mesenteric ischemia is a severe disorder characterized by decreased blood supply to the intestines as a result of obstruction or constriction of the mesenteric artery or vein. Interventional Radiology (IR) provides minimally invasive therapies like angioplasty, stenting, thrombolysis, and thrombectomy to improve blood circulation and prevent bowel injury. These treatments are carried out employing image guidance via tiny catheters put into the blood arteries.
