Interventional Radiology Procedures Offered at Sohana Hospital
Stroke Treatment
Mechanical Thrombectomy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses X-ray imaging and stenting to remove large blood clots from the brain to restore blood flow. A catheter is used to extract the clot to reopen the blood passage that allows oxygen-rich blood to reach the brain. Highly effective, no anesthesia required and provides rapid results.
Varicose Veins Treatment
Varicose veins are twisting, knotting and swollen of the veins causing them to appear bluer than usual. Varicose veins may cause painful ulcers, blood clots and internal bleeding. Highly specialised Varicose Veins Treatment options available including VenaSeal Glue Therapy, Ablation & Laser Therapy.
Thyroid Enlargement
Complete treatment for a lump that forms in the thyroid gland, called a thyroid nodule. They are mostly non-cancerous but may often cause appearance issues. Some severe cases of swollen thyroid nodules may cause trouble breathing or swallowing. An Interventional Radiologist near me is proficient in Thyroid Artery Embolization, a permanent non-surgical treatment with no pain, no cut, no blood loss and same day recovery.
Peripheral Artery Disease
The narrowing of the peripheral arteries that supply blood to the legs due to buildup of plaque. This lack of blood supply leads to leg pain and cramping during any physical exercise or strenuous activities. Leaving PAD untreated can lead to severe complications such as gangrene which may require amputation.
Carotid Artery Stenting
A blockage in the Carotid artery may cause restricted blood flow to the brain, oftentimes called a stroke. In such a scenario Carotid Artery Stenting is performed on a patient which is a minimally invasive image guided procedure conducted by an interventional radiologist near me wherein a balloon catheter insertion inflates open the narrowed artery.
Deep Vein Thrombosis
Clot formation in the deep veins of the legs which causes swelling and pain is called deep vein thrombosis. Deep vein thrombosis can be life threatening as this clot can then travel to different parts of the body like the lungs and the brain causing stroke or pulmonary embolism.
