Interventional Radiology (I.R) is at the cutting edge of modern medicine and has brought significant improvements in patient care. Radiology is developing and deploying a unique and novel combination of imaging, therapeutic and navigation technologies which together make up the Multimodality Interventional Radiology.
All procedures are done through single needle puncture, No cut, No suture.
For FNAC, Biopsy, angiography, stenting, embolization, laser ablation, radiofrequency / microwave ablation procedures.

CANCER is now treatable only through a small needle puncture.

Stroke is the third leading cause of death, after cardiovascular disease and cancer. Strokes disable more adults than any other condition. When a stroke occurs, a blood vessel in the brain becomes blocked or bursts, sometimes causing permanent brain damage or even death. However, prompt treatment and follow-up care may protect brain cells and help patients lead healthy, productive lives. There are several symptoms particular to stroke. Any of these symptoms should Consult a doctorimmediately:
Accounts for approximately 80 to 85 percent of all strokes. the blood supply to a part of the brain becomes blocked. This prevents oxygen and nutrients from reaching brain cells. Within a few minutes, these cells may begin to die.
Ischemic stroke is a life-threatening condition. We, neuro-interventional radiology physicians may be able to navigate a catheter to the site of the blockage in the blood vessel, to remove the blockade to restore the flow to the brain causing minimal damage to the brain.
A clot can be removed by –
These treatments should be performed as soon as possible after the onset of the stroke. The sooner treatment is started, the better the outcome.
During a hemorrhagic stroke, a blood vessel within the brain leaks or ruptures, and bleeds into the brain tissue (intracerebral hemorrhage) or into the surrounding space (subarachnoid hemorrhage). This can exert pressure on the brain and cause the neurological deficit. Neuro-interventional radiologists will perform an angiogram with the goal of identifying the cause of the bleeding, and, if possible, stop the source of bleeding by a technique called embolization.
Brain Aneurysm and its rupture causing Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH)
Sudden onset of a severe headache without warning is seen in SAH. An aneurysm is a weakened area in a blood vessel that may enlarge and rupture. Approximately eight to ten percent of all strokes are caused by ruptured brain aneurysms. Aneurysms can be treated by endovascular techniques, including insertion of platinum coils into the aneurysm or placement of flow-diverting stents to stop blood flow to the aneurysm. These methods may help prevent rupture or re-rupture of the aneurysm.
Time is brain – Speed is the key to effective stroke treatment – the faster doctors can restore blood flow to the brain, the better their chances of preventing brain damage.

Preserving Your Dialysis Lifeline
Peripheral Arterial Disease is a disease in which plaque builds up in the arteries that carry blood to your head, organs, and limbs. Plaque is made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium, fibrous tissue, and other substances in the blood.
When plaque builds up in the body’s arteries, the condition is called atherosclerosis. Over time, plaque can harden and narrow the arteries. This limits the flow of oxygen-rich blood to your organs and other parts of your body.
P.A.D. usually affects the arteries in the legs, but it also can affect the arteries that carry blood from your heart to your head, arms, kidneys, and stomach. This article focuses on P.A.D. that affects blood flow to the legs.
Common symptoms of PAD include the following:
People with PAD sometimes have other symptoms, too:
at least half the people who have PAD do not have any symptoms or fail to recognize their symptoms as PAD. Too often, people think the pain they feel is part of the aging process and they don’t get help as early as they should.
That’s why it’s so important to see your doctor regularly and ask about PAD.
DIAGNOSIS CAN BE DONE THROUGH SUBJECTING PATIENT SUFFERING FROM ABOVE SYMPTOMS TO A DOPPLER ARTERIAL STUDY OR CT ANGIO.
Angioplasty and Stenting
When arteries become narrowed or blocked, the circulation of blood around your body is reduced. This can cause symptoms such as muscle pain, dizziness and tissue damage as the affected regions are deprived of blood and oxygen.
Angioplasty or stenting is a procedure used to treat the narrowing or blockage of an artery. This uses either a balloon to stretch the artery (angioplasty) or metal scaffold to hold the artery open (stent). These procedures improve blood flow which helps to relieve any symptoms you are experiencing.
Atherectomy, in which the plaque is scraped off of the inside of the vessel wall (albeit with no better results than angioplasty).
All these procedures are done without cut, suture or scar through a small pinhole puncture.
The prostate is a walnut-sized gland located between the bladder and the penis . The gland surrounds the urethra, the duct that serves for the passage of both urine and semen.
Normally, the prostate reaches its mature size at puberty, between ages 10 and 14. It usually starts to enlarge after 40 years of age. The prostate grows larger due to an increase in the number of cells (hyperplasia) reason being unknown. About half of men aged 51-60yrs and up to 90% of men over the age of 80yrs will develop an enlarged prostate. “All men will develop BPH if they live long enough,”
When it grows beyond the normal size, it would start causing lower urinary tract symptoms by obstructing the urinary tract. BPH leads to both a decline in urinary-associated and overall quality of life.
The symptoms of BPH may mimic symptoms of other conditions, including cancer and infections.
A simple ultrasound examination can differentiate and detect benign prostate hypertrophy. Ultrasound is safe, noninvasive, and does not use ionizing radiation. It’s also used to investigate a prostate infection nodule being benign/cancer.
Once diagnosed, Gold standard treatment for benign prostate hyperplasia is transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) or open prostatectomy (OP). Recently, there has been increased interest and research in less invasive alternative treatments with less morbidity procedure by name prostate artery embolization (PAE). PAE is an effective alternative to surgery.
Prostate artery embolization, a minimally invasive treatment, is known to offer symptom relief to men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or an enlarged prostate gland. When a man has BPH, his prostate gland grows larger. For this to happen, the prostate needs a steady supply of blood. During PAE, a small puncture is made in the groin and a catheter inserted into the groin. Using image guidance, the catheter is directed to the blood vessels on both sides of the enlarged prostate gland. Microscopic beads are used to block blood flow to specific areas of the robotic prostate surgery, shrinking the gland and alleviating urinary problems. With the help of cone beam CT, successful delivery of microbeads to the target vessels is ensured and the non-target embolization can be avoided. The procedure is performed by a specialist called an Interventional Radiologist.
These patients experienced an 84% cumulative success rate in the first six months, and 76.2% thereafter.
With no cut, no suture, no scar techniques Interventional Radiology always offers the patient a better alternative to surgery resulting in the same efficacy. Compared to surgery IR procedures requires less hospital stay (maximum just an overnight), results in faster recovery and has fewer chances of infection. You would be wise enough to choose the best treatment option available.
“GET RID OF FIBROID, NOT UTERUS”. BRING YOUR SMILES BACK…
Uterine Fibroid it is one of the most common benign tumors and condition are seen in many females.
Traditional treatments were hysterectomy– patient uterus will be removed Myomectomy open / lap – a part of the uterus is scraped off – can cause adhesions. Any disturbance in normal anatomy will cause complications later.
Best will be UTERINE ARTERY EMBOLIZATION – done through a small pinhole. With very less or no complications.
