Minimally Invasive Image-Guided Procedures
Many conditions that once required surgery can now be treated without surgery with interventional radiology procedures. Specialized Interventional Radiology physicians at Kingman Regional Medical Center (电子老虎机游戏平台网址大全) provide these intricate medical procedures in a state-of the-art interventional radiology suite within the hospital. This capability is not typically available outside of large urban hospitals.
Interventional Radiology (IR) involves the use of advanced imaging technology and small medical instruments to diagnose and treat conditions inside the body. Many treatments that would have once required major surgery can now be done with interventional radiology procedures, which only require a small incision through the skin. Since these procedures are less invasive than surgery, they minimize the likelihood of infection and reduce recovery time.
Testing and Treatment for the Following Conditions:
- Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
- Carotid Artery Disease
- Deep Venous Thrombosis
- Interventional Oncology
- 肾脏疾病
- 肝脏疾病
- Peripheral Artery Disease
- 子宫肌瘤
- Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm
- Vascular Malformation
- 静脉曲张
- 椎体骨折
Interventional Radiology Procedures at 电子老虎机游戏平台网址大全:
-
Atherectomy/Angioplasty Using X-ray guidance, an interventional radiologist will insert tiny tools through the skin, 进入动脉, to treat a blocked or narrowed vessel. This procedure can be done for arteries in nearly every part of the body.
- Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS)使用专用工具, an interventional radiologist will place a shunt to create a pathway for blood to pass properly through a diseased 肝. This procedure treats various conditions associated with 肝 disease including ascites and gastrointestinal bleeding.
- Aortic aneurysm repair (abdominal/thoracic) Endovascular aneurysm repair is a minimally invasive alternative to major open surgery for the repair of aortic aneurysms that result in reduced recovery times and potentially improved survival rates. Endovascular aneurysm repair is performed using a stent graft. The stent is placed within the aneurysm to provide a permanent, alternative channel for blood flow and preventing the walls of the aneurysm from rupturing. The stent graft is inserted into the aneurysm through small incisions in the groin without surgically opening or removing part of the aorta, thereby offering an alternative treatment choice to open surgery.
- 栓塞 An interventional radiologist can stop bleeding from damage to arteries by de肝ing gel, 泡沫, and/or coils to the area using a catheter inserted through the skin. This procedure can also stop the flow of blood to other areas like an aneurysm or a fibroid tumor in the uterus. 另外, chemotherapy drugs can be applied directly to a malignant tumor in a variation of this procedure called 化疗栓塞术.
- 活组织检查 Using image guidance, an interventional radiologist can take a sample of tissue from the bones, 骨髓, 肝, 肺, 淋巴结, 肾脏, 甲状腺, and other areas of the body to evaluate and diagnose a mass or lesion.
- 港口导管 An interventional radiologist will implant a port under the skin for long term access to the vein for patients who need chemotherapy and other repeated procedures.
- Central venous access The interventional radiologist will insert a tube through the skin and into the blood vessels for easier blood draws and de肝y of medication.
- Vertebroplasty An interventional radiologist will use special tools to stabilize fractured vertebral bodies using bone cement.
- 排水管道 An interventional radiologist will insert a catheter tube to drain excess fluid if the body is unable to drain the fluid itself. This is common in a few areas of the body. In the chest, the tube creates a pathway to remove air and/or fluid from the 肺 area. In the 肾脏s, nephrostomy tubes allow for internal or external drainage. In the bladder, suprapubic catheter provides an external drainage system.
- Arteriovenous (AV) fistulogram For patients on dialysis, an access is positioned under the skin to create an entryway to the bloodstream. An interventional radiologist can look for any narrowing or blockage in the dialysis access by inserting a catheter and injecting contrast dye for imaging. If necessary, the access can be repaired using special tools.
