Interventional Radiology
Cancer
Bleeding Control
Many other treatments
Treats blood vessels from 2 mm to 30 mm
Narrowed blood vessels are stretched (Angioplasty) to improve blood flow
Blocked blood vessels can be internally reopened in many cases
Treatment of aneurysms (abnormal bulges in vessels).

Unblocking arteriesBlocked arm artery (Arrow)causing pain and arm weakness
Treated by internallyunblocking the artery andplacing a stent
Major surgery avoided. Totaltreatment time of one hour

Aortic Aneurysm
Abnormal bulge (aneurysm) of the
main artery in the abdomen
Risk of rupture and major bleeding
Treated by internally relining the artery (Endovascular aneurysm repair-EVAR)
Major surgery avoided. Total treatment time of 90 minutes

Scope of Interventional Radiology
Blood Vessel
Bleeding control Many other treatments
Treatment
• Thermal destruction of small cancers using image guided needles
• Targeted chemotherapy into blood vessels supplying the tumour
Cancer Symptom relief
• Stent insertion into the bowel for relief of obstruction
• Insertion of lines for delivery of chemotherapy and nutrition

Key emergency role for Interventional Radiology
Treatment of bleeding from Trauma, bowel, child birth or following surgery
Blood vessels as small as 2-3mm can be treated
Blood vessels can be blocked (embolisation) or relined with a stent depending on the location and need
