Interventional Radiology

Treatments

• Diagnostic Angiography (thoracic, abdominal, peripheral).
• Core needle biopsies of the liver, kidney, lung, pancreas, adrenal glands, retroperitoneal or pelvic masses.
• Image-guided biopsies of deep lesions.
• Percutaneous cholangiography (diagnostic and therapeutic).
• Placement and replacement of biliary catheters and external/internal drains.
• Vascular diagnosis and surgical planning.
• Percutaneous drainage of abscesses (intra-abdominal, hepatic, pelvic, perirectal).
• Uterine fibroid embolization.
• Therapeutic arterial embolization: hepatic tumors (HCC, metastases), active hemorrhage, uterine hypervascularization, pelvic varicoceles, splenic or visceral aneurysms.
• Selective portal vein embolization / surgical preparation (Appleby procedure, contralateral liver hypertrophy).
• Palliative embolization for bleeding tumors.
• Tissue perfusion studies.
• Phlebography and lymphography.
• Percutaneous radiologic gastrostomy (PRG).
• Arterial and venous interventional procedures.
• Digestive, urological, and general interventional radiology.
• Gynecologic and oncologic interventional radiology.
• Pre-surgical planning in collaboration with general, digestive, gynecologic, and orthopedic surgery.
• Hepatic radioembolization (TARE – Transarterial Radioembolization).
• Pelvic congestion syndrome treatment.
• Venous therapies: sclerotherapy and embolization of malformations, treatment of pelvic varices, image-guided venous access (Port-a-Cath, PICC line, tunneled catheter).
• Percutaneous nephrostomy and placement of image-guided ureteral catheters.
• Tumor vascularization assessment prior to oncologic treatment.
