Here is a comprehensive list of procedures available in Peripheral & Neuro-Interventional Radiology:

Peripheral Interventional Radiology Procedures:

Vascular Interventions:
  • Angioplasty and Stenting: To treat narrowed or blocked blood vessels.
  • Atherectomy: Removal of plaque from arteries.
  • Embolization: Used for bleeding control, treating aneurysms, or managing tumors.
  • Thrombolysis: Dissolves blood clots with catheter-delivered medications.
  • Varicose Vein Treatment: Including endovenous laser therapy (EVLT) and sclerotherapy.
  • Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE): For benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
  • Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE): Treatment for uterine fibroids.
  • Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) Management: Using angioplasty, stenting, or atherectomy.
  • Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Treatment: Through catheter-directed thrombolysis.
  • Dialysis Access Management: Including fistuloplasty and graft maintenance.
Non-Vascular Interventions:
  • Biopsy Procedures: Image-guided biopsies of organs and tissues.
  • Abscess Drainage: Using catheter placement for infection management.
  • Nephrostomy: Creating a passage to drain urine from the kidney.
  • Biliary Interventions: Such as biliary drainage and stenting.
  • Gastrostomy Tube Placement: For feeding support.
  • Paracentesis and Thoracentesis: To remove fluid from the abdomen or chest.

Neuro-Interventional Radiology Procedures:

Cerebral Vascular Interventions:
  • Aneurysm Coiling: Minimally invasive technique to treat brain aneurysms.
  • Flow Diverter Stents: For complex aneurysms.
  • Mechanical Thrombectomy: For acute ischemic stroke to remove clots.
  • Embolization of Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs): Using glue or particles to block abnormal vessels.
  • Dural Arteriovenous Fistula (DAVF) Treatment: By embolization.
Spinal Interventions:
  • Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty: For vertebral compression fractures.
  • Spinal Ablation: For managing spinal tumors.
  • Epidural Steroid Injections: For pain relief.
  • Nerve Root Blocks: To treat nerve-related pain.

Specialized Techniques and Technologies:

  • Image-Guided Tumor Ablation: Using radiofrequency, microwave, or cryoablation.
  • Intra-Arterial Chemotherapy: For targeted cancer treatment.
  • Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE): Especially for liver tumors.
  • Radioembolization (TARE): Using yttrium-90 for cancer therapy.
