These procedures can be used to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions, from cancer to blood clots to cardiovascular disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the key advantages of interventional radiology is that it allows doctors to access hard-to-reach areas of the body through small incisions, reducing the risk of <a href=\"https:\/\/lavascular.com\/complication-of-interventional-oncology-procedures\/\">complications<\/a> and the need for more invasive surgeries. This can often lead to faster recovery times and less pain for the patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some common procedures performed by interventional radiologists include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Angiography: This is a procedure used to visualize the blood vessels, including arteries and veins. It is often used to diagnose and treat conditions that affect the blood vessels, such as blockages or aneurysms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Embolization: This is a procedure used to block the flow of blood to a specific area of the body. It is often used to treat conditions such as uterine <a href=\"https:\/\/lavascular.com\/fibroids\/\">fibroids<\/a> or bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Biopsy: This is a procedure used to remove a sample of tissue from the body for examination. An interventional radiologist may use imaging guidance to help guide the biopsy needle to the right location.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drainage procedures: Interventional radiologists may use imaging guidance to help drain fluids, such as abscesses or excess fluid around the lungs, from the body.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stenting: This is a procedure used to open up narrowed or blocked blood vessels. A stent, which is a small metal mesh tube, is inserted into the blood vessel to keep it open and improve blood flow.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, interventional radiologists play a crucial role in diagnosing and treating a wide range of medical conditions using minimally invasive techniques. This can help to improve patient outcomes and reduce the need for more invasive surgeries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An interventional radiologist is a medical doctor who specializes in using medical imaging techniques, such as x-rays, CT scans, and MRIs, to guide minimally invasive [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_ti_tpc_template_sync":false,"_ti_tpc_template_id":"","footnotes":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Interventional Radiology - LA Vascular<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Interventional Radiology %\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/lavascular.com\/interventional-radiology\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Interventional Radiology - LA Vascular\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Interventional Radiology %\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/lavascular.com\/interventional-radiology\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"LA Vascular\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/La-Vascular\/653140648036462\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-12-12T23:29:43+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/lavascular.com\/interventional-radiology\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/lavascular.com\/interventional-radiology\/\",\"name\":\"Interventional Radiology - LA Vascular\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/lavascular.com\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-12-12T23:29:37+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-12-12T23:29:43+00:00\",\"description\":\"Interventional Radiology %\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/lavascular.com\/interventional-radiology\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/lavascular.com\/interventional-radiology\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/lavascular.com\/interventional-radiology\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/lavascular.com\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Interventional Radiology\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/lavascular.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/lavascular.com\/\",\"name\":\"LA Vascular\",\"description\":\"Vascular &amp;
