Interventional Radiology

The department of Interventional Radiology is offered a single window for all minimally invasive procedures (which have revolutionized medical treatment options) using image guidance. The motto of the department is to keep patient’s interest as paramount and to provide personalized care round the clock. The department offers all types of Vascular and Non Vascular interventions and state of the art Digital Mammography, Stereotactic Breast Biopsy services, High Resolution Ultrasound & Colour Doppler services for breast, infertility and vascular disorders. The scope of the procedures is being expanded gradually to cover the entire gambit of interventions.

The department is equipped with state of the art equipment such as flat panel Cath Lab with digital subtraction & 3 dimensional rotational angiography, premium colour Doppler machine, digital mammography & stereotactic breast biopsy system, backed by stringent quality checks. The faculty includes highly experienced, skilled and distinguished and dedicated doctors supported by a professional, patient friendly paramedical team.

Comprehensive Services of Interventional Radiology

Vascular Procedures

• Peripheral Vascular disease screening
• Peripheral angiographies & angioplasties (Carotid, Renal, Iliac, subclavian, venous, mesenteric, aortic, below knee arteries)
• Venous angioplasties & stenting
• Non Surgical control of life threatening bleeding from Gastrointestinal tract(Blood in vomit/stool), Genito-urinary tract(blood in urine), Respiratory tract(coughing blood)
• Catheter directed thrombolytic therapy in veins & arteries (to save the limbs from reduced supply due to clot in them)
• Chemotherapy for tumours (target therapy to tumour with reduced risk of complications/ without surgery)
• Pre operative devascularisation of vascular tumours (thus reducing blood loss during surgery)
