At Sia Life Hospital, our Interventional Radiology Department is at the forefront of minimally invasive treatments, providing a range of advanced, image-guided procedures. Our team of highly skilled interventional radiologists, technologists, and nurses is committed to delivering precise, targeted care with faster recovery times, reduced risks, and minimal discomfort for patients.
Advanced Interventional Radiology Services
Our Interventional Radiology team is equipped to perform a wide range of minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat various conditions, including:
- Vascular Interventions: Such as angioplasty, stenting, and thrombolysis to treat peripheral artery disease, deep vein thrombosis, and varicose veins.
- Oncologic Interventions: Image-guided biopsies, tumor ablation (radiofrequency, microwave, cryoablation), and transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for targeted cancer treatment.
- Neurological Interventions: Endovascular coiling and embolization procedures to treat aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and stroke.
- Gastrointestinal Interventions: Gastrostomy tube placements, biliary drainage, and stenting for obstructive jaundice and gastrointestinal bleeding.
- Musculoskeletal Interventions: Vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty for spinal fractures, and joint injections for pain management.
- Women’s Health Interventions: Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) and ovarian vein embolization for pelvic congestion syndrome.
- Renal and Urological Interventions: Nephrostomy tube placements, ureteral stenting, and prostate artery embolization (PAE) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Comprehensive Pre-Procedural Care
Before any interventional procedure, patients undergo comprehensive assessments to ensure safety and optimize outcomes:
- Pre-Procedural Imaging: Advanced imaging techniques (Ultrasound, CT, MRI) for accurate diagnosis and planning.
- Patient Education and Counseling: Detailed explanations of the procedure, potential risks, benefits, and expected outcomes.
- Multidisciplinary Consultation: Collaboration with specialists from various fields to develop a tailored treatment plan.
- Pre-Procedure Preparation: Guidelines on fasting, medications, and pre-procedure requirements to ensure optimal results.
State-of-the-Art Facilities and Technology
Our Interventional Radiology Department is equipped with cutting-edge technology to provide precise, safe, and effective treatments:
- Advanced Imaging Technology: High-resolution ultrasound, CT, MRI, and fluoroscopy-guided imaging for accurate navigation during procedures.
- Hybrid Operating Rooms: State-of-the-art suites combining the functionality of a catheterization lab with a fully equipped surgical operating room.
- Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA): For detailed visualization of blood vessels during vascular interventions.
- Minimally Invasive Tools and Devices: Including specialized catheters, guidewires, embolization materials, and ablation devices.
Post-Procedural Care and Support
At Sia Life Hospital, patient care doesn’t end with the procedure. We provide comprehensive post-procedural support to ensure a smooth recovery:
- Close Monitoring: Immediate post-procedure observation to manage any potential complications.
- Follow-Up Care: Regular follow-up visits and imaging studies to monitor recovery and effectiveness.
- Rehabilitation Support: Coordination with physical therapists and rehabilitation specialists for musculoskeletal procedures.
- Patient Education: Guidance on post-procedural care, activity restrictions, and medication management.
Community Outreach and Education
In addition to providing cutting-edge interventional radiology services, we are committed to community education and awareness:
- Educational Seminars: Regular sessions to inform the public about minimally invasive treatment options and their benefits.
- Health Screenings and Camps: Conducting screenings for vascular diseases, cancers, and other conditions treatable with interventional radiology.
- Training for Healthcare Professionals: Workshops and training programs for doctors, nurses, and paramedical staff on the latest advancements in interventional radiology.
- Patient Awareness Campaigns: Promoting early detection and minimally invasive treatment options to improve patient outcomes.
At Sia Life Hospital, our goal is to provide advanced interventional radiology services that offer patients a less invasive alternative to traditional surgery, with quicker recovery and improved quality of life.
