Interventional Radiology (IR) (Kailash Hospital, Sector 27, Noida)

Interventional Radiology is a sub-specialty of Radiology at Kailash Hospital Sector 27 Noida, which performs plethora of minimally invasive image guided therapeutic Endovascular, Hepato-biliary, Oncology, Urology, Nephrology and Gynaecology Interventions. 

IR today is one of the fastest growing & safest medical sub-specialties with an ever expanding list of minimally invasive treatments. 

Novel technological development and techniques such as stents and stent grafts led to Endovascular treatment for peripheral vascular disease. Novel minimally invasive treatments such as catheter directed thrombolysis for acute arterial & venous thrombosis, Embolization techniques for uncontrolled life threatening hemorrhage, splenic / liver trauma, arterio-venous malformation (AVMs) and hyper vascular tumors, Chemo-Embolization and RFA / microwave ablation for hepato-cellular Carcinoma are standard of care. Almost all procedures are performed under local anesthesia without any incision. 

The interventional Radiology procedures are associated with minimal risk, early recovery and early discharge as compared to conventional open surgical treatments. Real time image guidance allows precise treatment.
