What is Vascular Interventional Radiology
Vascular and Interventional Radiology is a medical superspeciality which uses imaging, like X-rays, to see inside a patient’s body, pinpoint where the problem is and map out how to get there without a surgical operation.
These highly skilled physicians use a very small incision in the skin to guide catheters or other instruments through the vascular system, urinary tract, or gastrointestinal tract, in a minimally invasive manner to treat disease directly at the source, or to take tissue samples for analysis.
What are the advantages of Interventional Radiologic (IR) procedures?
While no treatment is risk-free, the risks of IR procedures can be far lower than the risks of open surgery.
The specific advantages are:
No large incisions. Since there is no open surgery, there are no large scars following the procedures, minimally invasive procedures have a lower risk of complications than open surgical procedures.
Many procedures can be performed on an outpatient basis or via a short hospital stay, patients rarely require general anesthesia; typically sedation and pain medication are given to make the patient comfortable during the procedure, recovery time is often significantly reduced.
From treating blocked arteries and varicose veins to managing tumors and internal bleeding, VIR offers faster recovery, less pain, and fewer complications.
It's precision care, powered by imaging.
