A stroke develops when the blood vessels of the brain become blocked. In stroke treatment, interventional radiology is used to open the brain vessels and restore blood flow.

Treatment Method: Endovascular Treatment: When the carotid arteries are blocked, a stent is placed inside the vessel to restore blood flow.

Fibroids (myomas) are benign tumours that develop in the wall of the uterus. While conventional treatment usually requires surgery, interventional radiology can treat fibroids without an operation.

Treatment Method: Uterine Artery Embolisation (UAE): The vessels supplying the fibroids are embolised, causing them to shrink. The procedure preserves the uterus.

In women’s health, minimally invasive interventional radiology procedures are used particularly in the treatment of conditions such as endometriosis.

These treatments help relieve pain and manage the affected tissue without surgery.

These are minimally invasive procedures to relieve blockages of the bile ducts.

Using biliary stents or drainage catheters, the obstruction is cleared, preventing conditions such as infection or jaundice caused by the blockage.

Embolisation is the deliberate closure of blood vessels to control bleeding or shrink tumours.

Treatments such as tumour embolisation, haemorrhage embolisation and fibroid embolisation are delivered using minimally invasive methods.

Interventional radiology offers minimally invasive treatment options for conditions such as vascular occlusions, varicose veins and peripheral arterial disease.

Using X-ray, ultrasound and other imaging methods, blocked vessels are opened without surgical incisions, blood flow is restored and patients recover quickly.

Interventional radiology provides non-surgical treatment options for cancerous tumours of the liver and kidneys.

With techniques such as radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and microwave ablation (MWA), tumours are targeted and destroyed.

These treatments improve patients’ quality of life while allowing them to avoid surgery.
