Interventional radiology is useful for diagnosing complex and challenging medical conditions and exploring targeted therapies or delivering cutting-edge treatments. The collaborative and multidisciplinary approach is usually recommended in case of recurring symptoms, which is why interventional radiologist, Dr Christopher Goettl, partners with multiple specialties in order to come up with an overall plan of treatment.
Interventional radiology can diagnose and treat an array of medical problems including vascular disease and cancer. Its innovative treatments, minimally invasive procedures and advanced imaging guidance (CT, X-ray, MRI and ultrasound) make for great clinical care. Moreover, the IR staff includes board-certified physicians that carry out technically advanced procedures with minimal complications in order to improve the quality of life and prolong the life expectancy of patients across Western countries.
Many women’s health conditions can be properly addressed by interventional radiologists. Such conditions include: uterine fibroids, chronic pelvic pain derived from venous disease or congestion, postpartum hemorrhage, uterine malformations and infertility caused by fallopian tube blockage that can be treated with minimally invasive recanalization. Of course, men’s health conditions can be equally addressed, for instance by means of prostate artery embolization for enlarged prostates and minimally invasive embolization for enlarged veins in the scrotum, to name just a few.
