What is Interventional Radiology?
Sub specialty of Radiology
Image-Guided Surgery or Surgical Radiology
Performing minimally invasive therapies under imaging guidance.
Some of these procedures are done for purely diagnostic purposes (e.g., angiogram), while others are done for treatment purposes (e.g., angioplasty).
MINIMAL ACCESS – MAXIMUM RESULT
![Page 3: Ram Gurajala Interventional Radiology](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042707/626657815b921d2d7e1e15a8/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Who are Interventional Radiologists?
Physicians who specialize in minimally invasive, targeted diagnosis and treatments.
Offer the most in-depth knowledge of disease processes using least invasive methods of advanced diagnosis in complex ailments and treatments
Via pin-hole accesses. Externally, there is no more than a tiny scar at the pin hole marking the site of access.
They require strong diagnostic and clinical experience across several fields of medicine in all age groups.
They use X-rays, MRI, CAT/CT, ultrasound and other imaging modalities.

What's in Interventional radiology?
These procedures can replace certain surgeries:
Faster recuperation than with surgery
Usually no hospital admission required (done as an outpatient)
Local anesthetic or moderate sedation can be used instead of general anesthesia for majority of the procedures.
Safe and effective

History1929: Dr Werner Forssmann accessed
the heart from the peripheral circulation using a catheter
1964: Dr Charles Dotter performed the 1 st peripheral angioplasty
1977: Dr Andreas Grutzig performed the 1 st percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty
The balloon catheter was first used to perform PTCA in 1977, which led to many subsequent advances in the field of interventional cardiology
1977: Beginning of Angioplasty era
1994: Beginning of the stent era
2002: Beginning of the DES era

Anaphylactic reactions
Incidence (LOCM): 0.04% 1 in 2500
0.004%-very serious reactions
Know the protocols- Go on a course (it’s changed a lot recently!) Know where your crash trolleys are.
High risk patients:- Use something else
Steroid prophylaxis?
PO/IV?
Must be started 24 hours prior to administration.
Test dose (need to wait for 30 minutes)
![Page 13: Ram Gurajala Interventional Radiology](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042707/626657815b921d2d7e1e15a8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
NeedlesTwo types for vascular needles

More traumatic to vessel wall
More important consideration with antegradepunctures
More likely to induce dissection?
Two part
Less traumatic
inevitable 2 wall puncture

Choosing an Arterial stent: Strength -balloon >self expandingPrecise positioning - balloon=self expandingConformability - self expandingRisk of compression-(carotid/popliteal)-self
expanding Short lesions –balloon expanding Long lesions –self expanding
Arterial Stenting –Tips:Balloon mounted –pre dilate or use long sheath
Self expanding –may extrude forwards
Over bifuraction approach –use long sheath
Guide to safe stenting: Angiogram centred over deployment area Identify landmarks or use road map Measure lesion length + diameter Position stent Check angiogram with stent in position Deploy under continuous fluoroscopy Balloon stent,completion angio,check run off Remove delivery system under fluro
Secondary arterial stenting:Failed PTA
Residual stenosis
Flow limiting dissection
Thrombus
Arterial rupture

Embolisation
The goal:
To reduce the blood pressure at the bleeding site
allow a stable clot to form without causing tissue ischemia or necrosis.
Risks:
cannot be retrieved once they are released.

Summary
One session, in fact fellowship is not sufficient to understand all about IR
Practical knowledge of basic understanding of the tools, equipment and their availability is a necessity
Each case is a challenge, which can range from simple to complex.
Better planning of the cases is always an advantage
Finally, Who are we?Specialists in performing minimally invasive, targeted diagnosis and treatments, using X-rays, MRI,
CAT/CT, ultrasound and other imaging modalities.
We have the most in-depth knowledge of disease processes using least invasive methods of advanced diagnosis in complex ailments and treatments
Majority of cases, all we leave is no more than a tiny scar marking the site of access.
