Interventional radiologists are medical professionals who guide small, specialised instruments through the body using imaging technologies such as X-ray, fluoroscopy, ultrasound, or CT scan. This allows to treat a wide range of disorders involving the organs and blood vessels. Compared to open surgeries, the techniques enable targeted therapies and procedures to be completed swiftly and securely, with less discomfort, a quicker recovery period, and better outcomes. The interventional radiology team at Manipal Hospitals, Dhakuria, is backed by a skilled group of nurses and technologists and has immense expertise in employing interventional radiology techniques, providing accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Determining whether you meet the criteria for Interventional Radiology depends on various factors, including your medical history, current condition, and specific treatment needs. Technological and imaging advances have given patients additional options for their treatments. Personalised medicine in this new medical era refers to treating each patient as an individual. Consult our doctor to learn about less-invasive treatment options. Additionally, consider obtaining a second opinion from our interventional radiologist if you qualify for Open Surgery.
Interventional radiologists often utilise ionising radiation found in fluoroscopy, a form of X-ray imaging, to guide minimally invasive procedures. Fluoroscopy allows for real-time visualisation of internal structures, aiding in the precise placement of stents, catheters, and other medical devices. Additionally, interventional radiologists may utilise CT scans and ultrasound, along with other imaging methods, to assist with procedural guidance.
Interventional Radiology provides greater benefits, such as:
Extremely focused and effective therapy
Minimal complications and risks
Less pain
Quicker recovery
No hospital stay
No scar formation
Minimal cost
The science of medicine has greatly advanced, and many lives have been saved or prolonged by radiation in patient diagnosis and treatment. However, there are risks associated with using radiation, just like with any medical practice. Interventional radiologists receive in-depth training in radiation safety and are skilled at reducing radiation dangers by adhering to government regulations. Moreover, the benefits of Interventional Radiology always outweigh the risks of the radiation employed during the procedure. In case you have concerns about radiation use or any related topics, it is essential to address them with our specialist.
Similar to any medical procedure, Interventional Radiology carries potential risks and complications, which may occur during or after treatment. These include:
Damage to the blood vessel or pseudoaneurysm
Failure of closure device in central venous access devices (CVADs)
Severe pain or infection around the site of the wound
Blood vessel leakage or hemomatoma
Misplacement of movement of devices during catheter insertion
Allergic reactions to contrast dye used for imaging
Impaired connection between an artery and vein (arteriovenous fistula)
The duration of recovery following an interventional procedure varies depending on the specific procedure and individual healing pace. Recovery is unique to each patient. Since interventional radiology procedures are minimally invasive, patients can often be discharged on the same day, though they may be advised to refrain from strenuous activities for the next 48 hours. In some cases, patients may need to remain in the hospital for several hours post-procedure, especially for leg immobilisation after catheter insertion or removal. Our specialist will guide you through the recovery process and provide additional instructions to aid in your recovery.
The duration of an Interventional Radiology procedure depends on the specific type of procedure being performed and varies for each patient. Some interventions may last less than 15 minutes, while others may extend to several hours. Following your procedure, you may be sent to a recovery room for observation. Minimal-invasive procedures usually take less time, and patients can be discharged on the same day. Our specialist will provide you with post-procedural instructions and medications essential for your recovery, which you must follow diligently.
