WHO THIS IS FOR
You should consider an interventional radiology consultation if:
You were advised surgery & want to explore non-surgical options
You are worried about long recovery, scars, or complications
longer helping
You want a second opinion before deciding
Conditions We Treat With Minimally Invasive Techniques
Varicose Veins
My legs ache by evening, and the veins are clearly visible.
Laser (EVLT) or glue-based treatments seal faulty veins from the inside. No cuts. No stitches.
- Walk the same day
- Back to work in days
- Relief from pain and heaviness

Uterine Fibroids
Heavy periods and pain, but I want to avoid a hysterectomy.
Fibroid embolisation shrinks fibroids by blocking their blood supply while preserving the uterus.
- Uterus preserved
- Treats multiple fibroids together
- High symptom improvement rates

Enlarged Prostate (BPH)
Frequent night urination is ruining my sleep.
Prostate Artery Embolisation reduces prostate size without cutting or removing tissue.
- No surgical removal
- Lower risk to sexual function
- Gradual, natural improvement

Blocked Leg Arteries (PAD)
Leg pain while walking or non-healing wounds or gangrene.
Angioplasty opens blocked arteries using balloons or stents under imaging guidance.
- Improved walking distance
- Better wound healing
- Reduced amputation risk

Varicocele (Male Infertility)
Discomfort and fertility worries.
Problematic veins are blocked through a tiny catheter, without groin surgery.
- Minimal pain
- Faster recovery
- Possible improvement in sperm parameters

Thyroid Nodules
I have a thyroid lump but don’t want surgery or a neck scar.
Radiofrequency ablation shrinks benign nodules while preserving thyroid function.
- No scar
- Outpatient treatment
- Thyroid preserved
- No lifelong medications

Image-Guided Biopsies & FNAC
I need a diagnosis, but I’m anxious about the procedure.
Accurate, image-guided biopsies with local anaesthesia for faster and safer diagnosis.
Day care procedure
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
My leg suddenly became swollen and painful. I’m worried about clots moving to my lungs.
In selected cases, image-guided catheter treatments are used to break or remove the clot and restore blood flow, without open surgery.
- No scar
- Outpatient treatment
- Thyroid preserved
- No lifelong medications
Faster relief from pain and swelling
Lower risk of long-term leg complications
Careful hospital-based monitoring
Important note: Many DVT cases are treated with medicines alone. An evaluation helps decide the safest option.
Why Minimally Invasive Treatments Work
Interventional radiology treats the root cause of the problem by targeting blood vessels or abnormal tissue under live imaging.
Compared to open surgery:
- Smaller entry point
- Less pain
- Lower infection risk
- Faster recovery
- Often same-day discharge
This is not an experimental approach. It is evidence-based and widely used across leading hospitals worldwide.
What Your Treatment Journey Looks Like
Consultation
Your symptoms, reports, and scans are reviewed in detail.
Evaluation
If needed, imaging is planned to confirm suitability.
Procedure Day
Most treatments take 30–45 minutes under local anaesthesia or mild sedation.
Recovery & Follow-up
Many patients go home the same day. Follow-ups track healing and outcomes.
You are never rushed. Questions are encouraged.

frequently asked questions
Why didn’t my surgeon suggest this option?
Not all conditions are suitable, and not all centres offer interventional radiology. Awareness is still growing.
Is this as effective as surgery?
In properly selected patients, outcomes are comparable with fewer risks.
Is everyone eligible?
No. Suitability depends on anatomy, condition severity, and overall health.
Is it safe?
These procedures are performed under live imaging with strict protocols in a hospital setting.
Can I come only for a second opinion?
Yes. Many patients consult specifically for that.
