The Radiology Department provides the following
interventional services:
Interventional Procedures
Pulmonary Angiography
- An X-ray exam of the arteries and veins
in the lungs to diagnose thrombolysis (clot) and other blood
vessel problems; uses a catheter to enter the blood vessel and
a contrast agent (X-ray dye) to make the artery or vein visible
on the X-ray.
- Balloon Angioplasty
Opens blocked or narrowed blood vessels by inserting
a very small balloon into the vessel and inflating it. Used
by IRs to unblock clogged arteries in the legs or arms (called peripheral
vascular disease or PVD), kidneys, brain and elsewhere in the
body.
- Biliary Tube or a Stent Drainage and Stenting
Uses a stent (small
wire mesh device) to open up blocked ducts and allow bile to
drain from the liver, as it should.
- Embolization
Delivery of clotting agents (coils, plastic particles,
gelfoam, etc.) directly to an area that is bleeding or to
block blood flow to a problem area, such as an aneurysm or a fibroid
tumor in the uterus.
- Hemodialysis Access Maintenance
Use of angioplasty or thrombolysis to
open blocked grafts for hemodialysis, which treats kidney failure.
- Needle
Biopsy/Bone Biopsy
Diagnostic test for breast, lung and other
cancers; an alternative to surgical biopsy. Can be used to
obtain diagnostic tissue from almost anywhere in the body.
- Radiofrequency
(RF) Ablation
Use of radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat up
and kill cancerous tumors.
Stent Placement
- A small flexible tube made of plastic
or wire mesh, used to treat a variety of medical conditions (e.g., to
hold open clogged blood vessels or other pathways that have
been narrowed or blocked by tumors or obstructions).
- Stent-graft
Reinforces a ruptured or ballooning section of an
artery (an aneurysm) with a fabric-wrapped stent, a small,
flexible mesh tube used to "patch" the blood vessel. Also known
as an endograft.
- Thrombolysis (Available at St. Vincent’s)
Dissolves blood clots
by injecting clot-busting drugs at the site of the clot.
- Vascular
Access Devices
Inserting PICC lines and Permacaths, Hickman
catheters and ports, in patients.
- Vertebroplasty, Discography
and Kyphoplasty
Spinal procedures to treat pain from fractures
or diagnose painful diseased discs in the spine.
