Heart, Lung and Vascular Center

Interventional Radiology

Interventional radiology is a subspecialty of radiology in which both vascular and nonvascular diseases are treated by minimally invasive approaches using small catheters and catheter-based instruments without the need for large surgical incisions or general anesthesia. The procedures are performed with local and intravenous sedation and are guided by radiological imaging techniques such as x-rays, fluoroscopy, ultrasound, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Computed Tomography (CT). The procedures pose less risk to patients and typically decrease hospitalization time. Frequently, interventional procedures are the only viable therapeutic option for patients unable to tolerate a surgical procedure.

Our Interventional Radiologists, all board-certified by the American Board of Radiology, have mastered the most advanced and complex procedures.
