FAQs
If you have symptoms like pain, swelling, restricted blood flow, or chronic conditions such as PAD, DVT, or varicose veins, consult an interventional radiologist. Advanced imaging and medical history evaluation helps in determining if you’re a candidate for minimally invasive treatment/minimally invasive procedures.
Varicose veins are swollen, abnormally twisted veins that result from inadequate blood circulation. The available treatments include endovenous laser therapy (EVLT), sclerotherapy, and radiofrequency ablation, all of which are minimally invasive and very effective.
Interventional radiology procedures are typically considered safe. They utilize advanced imaging techniques for accuracy, involve smaller incisions, and have a reduced risk of complications in comparison to conventional surgery.
Minimally invasive techniques demonstrate a high level of effectiveness, achieving success rates that are equal to or exceed those of conventional surgeries, while also providing shorter recovery periods, reduced discomfort, fewer complications, and more effective pain management and pain relief.
Most patients are able to resume their regular activities within a few days, which varies based on the type of procedure and individual healing. Your physician will give you detailed instructions.
Interventional radiology provides specific pain management options, such as nerve blocks and embolization, aimed at treating chronic pain while ensuring minimal recovery time.
