What is Interventional Radiology?

Interventional Radiology is a way to treat many problems using small tubes or wires placed through a tiny cut, guided by live images. Doctors can fix blood vessel problems, treat some tumors, relieve pain, and place drains or tubes, all without large operations.

When to See an Interventional Radiologist

See an interventional radiologist at Medicover Hospitals, Vizag, if you have any of the following:

• Leg pain, cold feet or non-healing wounds, possible poor blood flow (Peripheral Artery Disease).
• Swollen, painful veins or varicose veins that limit activity.
• Sudden or long-lasting blood clots in the legs (DVT).
• Bulging or painful large blood vessel in the abdomen or chest (aneurysm).
• Severe or repeated nosebleeds or bleeding that's hard to control.
• Confirmed or suspected tumors where local treatment (ablation, TACE) may help.
• Large or painful uterine fibroids causing heavy bleeding.
• Trouble urinating from prostate enlargement and looking for a non-surgical option.
• Broken or painful vertebrae causing severe back pain (possible vertebroplasty/kyphoplasty).
• Blocked bile ducts, need for feeding tube placement, or other drainage needs.
• Chronic, localized pain that may respond to image-guided nerve blocks.

If your doctor suggests a less invasive option or you want to avoid major surgery, an IR consultation can explain whether a procedure is correct for you.

Common Interventional Radiology Treatments We Offer

Vascular (blood vessel) treatments

• Angioplasty and Stenting: Opens narrowed arteries (legs, carotid).
• Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR): Fixes certain aortic aneurysms from inside the vessel.
• Catheter-directed Thrombolysis: Dissolves dangerous blood clots (DVT).
• Varicose Vein Treatments: EVLT or RFA to close problem veins.
• Embolization for AVMs: Blocks abnormal blood vessels.

Non-vascular treatments

• Tumor Ablation and TACE: Destroys liver or kidney tumors without open surgery.
• Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE): Shrinks fibroids to reduce bleeding and pain.
• Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE): Reduces prostate size to improve urine flow.
• Vertebroplasty / Kyphoplasty: Stabilizes spine fractures and eases pain.
• Biliary Drainage and Gastrostomy: Places drains or feeding tubes safely using images.
• Image-guided Nerve Blocks: Targeted pain relief for chronic conditions.

What to Expect- Safe, Faster Recovery

Most IR procedures are done through a small puncture in the skin under local anaesthesia (sometimes with light sedation). You'll often have less pain, more minor scars, and a shorter hospital stay than with open surgery. Recovery time depends on the procedure, your doctor will explain what to expect.
