GI and hepatobiliary interventions:

  • Embolization of bleeding vessels, either due to trauma or iatrogenic  or due to pseudoaneurysms (for eg. post pancreatitis, post surgical or post ERCP sphincterotomy)
  • Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPSS) in acute variceal haemorrhage or refractory ascites/hepatic hydrothorax in cirrhosis as a bridge to transplant or in Budd-Chiari syndrome.
  • Variceal obliteration in uncontrolled variceal haemorrhage – BRTO, P/CARTO etc.
  • Portal vein interventions – in portal vein thrombosis
  • Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) and stenting. 
  • Endobiliary biopsy and ablation.
  • Radiologically inserted percutaneous gastrostomy.
  • Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) or TARE (radioembolization) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), 
  • Portal vein embolization prior to liver resection to promote compensatory hypertrophy to achieve enough functional reserve before resection.
  • Transjugular liver biopsy (TJLB) in severe coagulopathy/ascites,
  • Bariatric embolisation – embolisation of left gastric artery.
  • Hemorrhoidal artery embolisation.
  • Long term, tunnelled peritoneal drain – eg. PeritX

Thoracic interventions:

  • Bronchial artery embolization for massive hemoptysis.
  • Thrombolysis and Mechanical thrombectomy in acute pulmonary embolism.
  • Pulmonary AVM embolisation
  • Thoracic duct embolisation to manage post surgical complications like chylous leak.
  • Ablation of lung lesions.
  • Long term, tunnelled pleural drain – eg. PleurX
  • Lung biopsy for mass lesions in difficult areas.

Central vascular interventions –

  • Central venous angioplasty in dialysis patients and for SVC syndrome
  • IVC filter placement to prevent PE.
  • Iliac stenting.
  • Visceral arteries – Celiac, SMA and IMA plasty/stenting
  • IVC thrombolysis, plasty, and stenting.

Peripheral vascular interventions:

    • DVT thrombolysis, mechanical thrombectomy.
    • Varicose vein ablation – RFA, LASER, microwave ablations and/or foam injection sclerotherapy, glue therapy.
    • Vascular malformation – injection sclerotherapy
    • dialysis salvage interventions like Fistuloplasty, and thrombolysis.
    • PICC line and other tunnelled insertion.

Genitourinary interventions:

    • Renal artery angioplasty for RAS.
    • Renal artery embolization for pseudoaneurysms, AVF (traumatic or iatrogenic – often post biopsy or nephrostomy)
    • Renal angiomyolipoma embolisation.
    • Percutaneous renal denervation for resistant hypertension.
    • Percutaneous nephrostomy PCN, ureteric stenting.
    • Microwave and radiofrequency (RFA) ablation for RCC.
    • Transjugular renal biopsy.
    • Prostate artery embolization for BPH.
    • Varicocele embolization 
    • Uterine artery embolization for postpartum haemorrhage (a real lifesaver! and saves the uterus too).
    • Uterine fibroid embolization.
    • Fallopian tube recanalization
    • Ovarian vein embolization in pelvic congestion syndrome.
  •  

Musculoskeletal interventions:

  • Ablation of osteoid osteoma.
  • MSK embolisations eg.Geniculate artery embolization for osteoarthritic pain in the knee which prevents or delays knee replacement.
  • MSK ablations for soft tissue tumours.

USG guided intra-articular and nerve root steroid injection.
