Interventional radiology is a sub-branch or upper specialty of radiology, which is the science of medical imaging, which is mostly directed to the treatment of diseases by using imaging methods. The interventional radiologist not only makes a diagnosis but also plays a role in the treatment of diseases.
Fine needle aspiration biopsies or Tru-cut biopsies accompanied by various radiological imaging techniques (Ultrasonography and/or Computed Tomography),
It is a method of X-ray imaging of body vessels (arteries =arteries and veins=veins) using drugs. Generally, the femoral artery and rarely the axillary are entered, and the desired area is visualized by giving contrast material with the help of needles and catheters.
Thanks to high-tech angiography devices, the most distal branches can be shown with high clarity with high-resolution image quality, and a 3D image can also be obtained.
Arterial circulation of the distal abdominal aorta, leg, and foot is visualized.
Renal artery narrowing (renal artery stenosis), which may be a cause of hypertension, is investigated in this method. It is also applied to examine the vascular structures before and after renal transplantation in patients with suspected tumors in the kidney.
Vascular pathologies of the stomach, duodenum, liver, spleen, and pancreas can be diagnosed. If the source of gastrointestinal bleeding is being investigated, treatment is usually performed along with angiography.
The thoracic aorta is examined in terms of dissection and aneurysm.
Stenosis, dilation, and occlusion of the arcus aorta and brachiocephalic vessels are diagnosed.
Vascular structures of the arms are evaluated. If obstruction and stenosis are detected, interventional radiological methods are applied for treatment.
In these examinations, stenosis, occlusion and aneurysms, and tumors of the vascular structures of the head and neck region are diagnosed. 3D views of aneurysms can also be created, and the relationship between aneurysm-parent artery and neck before surgery and embolization can be revealed with high accuracy.
Inferior Venacavogram: Inferior vena cava structures, tumor blockages, and thrombus causes are revealed.
Renal Venogram: Thrombosis is investigated in the renal veins.
Adrenel Venografi: It is performed to visualize adrenal gland tumors.
Bacak Venografisi: The deep veins of the leg and abdomen are investigated for thrombosis.
Safen Ven Venografisi: Before bypass, it is conducted to evaluate the saphenous vein used as a graft.
Bile ducts interventions (biliary PTK, biliary drainage, biliary stenting)
Stent placement in the bile ducts,
Drainage of renal cysts and abscess collections,
RF Ablation,
Percutaneous nephrostomy,
Abscess and collection drains,
Antegrade ureteral stent,
Treatment of all body vascular stenoses with balloons and stents,
Intracranial aneurysm and embolization of arteriovenous malformations (AVM),
Intra-arterial thrombolysis in stroke cases
Caroticocavernous fistula embolization
Epistaxis, hemoptysis, and embolization in acute gastrointestinal hemorrhages
Aortic aneurysm endograft applications
Cranial and Neck Tumor Embolization
In acute stroke cases, the cause may be thrombotic occlusions of the main cerebral arteries. Such pathologies can be treated within a certain time limit.
Anterior and posterior circulation aneurysms can be embolized by direct coil or balloon modeling.
AVM and AVF pathologies can be embolized using various embolizing agents
Peripheral artery stenosis and occlusions can be eliminated by ensuring the patency of the arteries with balloon and stent applications.
With the application of covered stents, aneurysms in the thoracic and abdominal aorta, and pseudo-aneurysms in the femoral and other arteries can also be treated.
In the treatment of hypertension, renal artery stenosis can be treated with a stent and balloon, which can be cleared.
In the treatment of hepatocellular carcinomas, the survival of the patient can be prolonged with intra-arterial chemoembolization. Embolization is an important alternative to surgery in the treatment of uterine myomas.
Stenosis in the foot veins of diabetic patients can be treated with balloon and laser angioplasty and good results are obtained.
Venous Port Placement
Permanent tunneled and transient venous catheter placement
In liver tumors
