FAQ's

What types of conditions can be treated with interventional radiology procedures?

Interventional radiology procedures employ the use of image-guided scans along with the insertion of catheters or wires to diagnose and treat a variety of medical conditions. Conditions that interventional radiologists address include:

Conditions that affect arteries, such as arteriovenous malformations (AVM) and peripheral arterial diseases
Conditions that affect the veins, such as varicose veins, venous malformation, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
Conditions that affect the gastrointestinal system, such as percutaneous gastrostomy and jejunostomy procedures for individuals who have difficulty eating or swallowing
Conditions that affect the hepatobiliary system, such as obstruction of the biliary duct or liver cancer.
Other conditions, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), can be treated by employing prostate artery embolisation (PAE)

How do I know if I am the right candidate for an interventional radiology procedure?

Your specialist will determine whether you are the right candidate for an interventional radiology procedure based on the type and severity of your condition. You will undergo physical and general examinations, as well as imaging scans, to see if your condition requires any interventional radiology procedures. Usual candidates include those who require Angioplasty, Arthroplasty, Stent Placements, or the insertion of Catheter Assisted Arterial Devices (CVAD), like a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) line.

What are the advantages of interventional radiology procedures over traditional surgery?

Interventional radiology has several benefits over traditional open surgery, which include the following:

The insertion of imaging-guided scans helps specialists have efficient visibility during the procedure.
Compared to traditional open surgery, interventional radiology procedures have minimal risks and complications, such as less blood and a lower risk of infection.
Patients undergoing interventional radiology procedures may not require general anaesthesia or sedation.
Fewer hospital stays and quick recovery can be made, enabling patients to return to normal routines and activities early.

What is the recovery process after an interventional radiology procedure?

The recovery period after an interventional procedure is based on the type of procedure done and the pace of recovery. The recovery process is unique and different from patient to patient. Since interventional radiology procedures are minimally invasive, individuals can be discharged from the hospital on the same day. But you will be advised to avoid any strenuous activity for the next 48 hours post-procedure. In certain instances, patients may need to stay in the hospital for several hours post-surgery, typically for leg immobilisation after catheter removal or insertion. Our specialist will inform you regarding your recovery process and provide further instructions to enhance your recovery.

Are there any risks or complications associated with interventional radiology procedures?

Just like any other treatment procedure, interventional radiology has several risks or complications that could manifest during or after your treatment, some of which include:

Leakage of blood vessels (haematoma)
Injury of the blood vessel wall (pseudoaneurysm)
Irregular connection between an artery and vein (arterio-venous fistula)
Device malpositioning or migration during catheter insertion
Developing allergic reactions to contrast dye for imaging
Extreme pain or infections around the wound site
Failure of the closure device in CVAD

Our specialist will discuss possible risks or complications that may arise during your initial consultations and perform necessary interventions to mitigate those risks.

What happens generally during an interventional radiology procedure?

Before undergoing an interventional radiology procedure, our specialist will assess your case and discuss the potential risks and anticipated recovery time. The choice of imaging modalities and equipment used depends on the patient’s condition and severity. Local anaesthesia will be administered to numb the pain around the site where the incision is performed. A small incision is made on the area, and our interventional radiologist will employ imaging-guided scans like fluoroscopy to visualise the targeted area. A needle or a catheter is then inserted through the insertion with the help of imaging-guided scans. After the procedure, the incision is closed with stitches.

Is there a risk of radiation exposure during interventional radiology procedures?

Interventional radiology procedures carry the potential for radiation exposure risks. Nevertheless, our interventional specialists possess expertise in administering radiation at minimal doses. The benefits of employing interventional radiology procedures often outweigh the risks associated with radiation exposure. You can address your concerns about radiation exposure before the procedure with our specialist.
