Welcome to the Department of Interventional Radiology, where we specialize in advanced, minimally invasive techniques that provide effective solutions for a variety of medical conditions. Our team of experienced interventional radiologists is dedicated to delivering non-surgical treatments that enhance patient outcomes and improve quality of life. Most of these procedures are performed in the hospital's Cath Lab (Catheterization Laboratory), a dedicated image-guided procedure suite.
Services & Treatments Offered
Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) and Adenomyosis Treatment
a non-surgical procedure that treats uterine fibroids by blocking the blood vessels that supply them. A catheter is inserted into the femoral artery and guided to the uterine arteries; tiny particles are injected to obstruct blood flow, shrinking fibroids and relieving heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pain. Uterine artery embolization is also used to treat adenomyosis.
Varicocele Embolization
for men experiencing sub-fertility due to varicocele, a catheter is guided to the affected veins in the scrotum to block abnormal blood flow, relieving pressure and improving sperm quality and fertility prospects. Also used to treat symptomatic scrotal varices causing testicular pain and discomfort.
Varicose Veins Treatment
minimally invasive techniques including endovenous laser therapy (EVLT), radiofrequency ablation, glue closure and sclerotherapy, closing off or removing damaged veins to improve circulation and relieve pain and swelling in the legs.
Peripheral Arterial and Venous Interventions
angioplasty and stenting for peripheral artery disease (PAD) and venous disorders, opening blocked arteries to improve blood flow to the limbs and reduce complications.
Dialysis Access Intervention
creating access points for long-term dialysis patients via arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation or catheter placement, for efficient dialysis with minimal complications.
Bleeding Embolization
an emergency technique that targets and stops the source of internal bleeding, applicable to sites including the gastrointestinal tract and pelvis, to stabilize patients quickly.
Hepatobiliary and Renal Interventions
interventions for liver and kidney conditions, including bile duct drainage, kidney/ureter obstruction relief, abscess management, and tumor treatment via chemoembolization and ablation.
Tissue Biopsy and Fluid Drainage
percutaneous biopsies for diagnosis of tumors and infections, plus fluid drainage for abscesses and effusions.
Port Cath Insertion for Chemotherapy
insertion of port catheters for chemotherapy patients, giving reliable, low-discomfort bloodstream access throughout treatment.
Peripheral and Central Line Insertion
placement of peripheral and central venous catheters for safe, effective delivery of medications, fluids and nutritional support.
