Interventional Radiology Procedures and Treatments

The Department of Interventional Radiology at Kauvery Hospital, Bengaluru offers outpatient consultations and procedures along with 24-hour emergency IR services. Our comprehensive range of vascular and non-vascular interventional procedures is backed by advanced imaging technology and an experienced clinical team. Our procedures are broadly divided into two categories:

• Hepatic Venous Pressure Gradient Estimation (HVPG) A diagnostic procedure to measure pressure within the livers blood vessels, used to assess liver disease severity.
• Trans Jugular Liver Biopsy (TJLB) A liver biopsy performed through the jugular vein, recommended for patients with bleeding risk or fluid in the abdomen.
• Trans Jugular Intra Hepatic Porto Systemic Shunt (TIPS) A procedure that creates a new pathway within the liver to reduce dangerously high blood pressure in liver disease.
• Balloon Occluded Trans Venous Obliteration (BRTO) A minimally invasive technique to treat abnormal veins in the stomach that develop due to liver disease.
• Trans Arterial Chemo Embolisation (TACE) A targeted cancer treatment where chemotherapy drugs are delivered directly into the blood vessels feeding a liver tumour, followed by blocking the vessel to cut off its blood supply.
• Embolisation and Coiling (Bronchial, GI Bleed, Uterine, Traumatic) A minimally invasive technique to block abnormal or bleeding blood vessels using coils or embolic agents, used to control bleeding in the lungs, gastrointestinal tract, uterus, or after trauma.
• Angioplasty / Thrombolysis (GI, Peripheral) Procedures to reopen narrowed or blocked blood vessels in the gastrointestinal system or limbs, restoring normal blood flow.
• Stenting (Biliary, Ureteric and Vascular) Placement of a small mesh tube to keep bile ducts, ureters, or blood vessels open when they become narrowed or blocked.
• Trans Arterial Radio Embolisation (TARE) A targeted radiation therapy delivered directly into the blood vessels supplying liver tumours, used for HCC, neuroendocrine, and colonic metastasis.

• Mechanical Thrombectomy in Ischemic Stroke An emergency procedure to physically remove a blood clot from the brain, restoring blood flow and minimising stroke damage.
• Coiling of Intra Cranial Aneurysm A minimally invasive treatment to seal off a weakened, bulging blood vessel in the brain, reducing the risk of rupture and bleeding.
• Dialysis Fistula Interventions Procedures to maintain and restore the function of arteriovenous fistulas used for dialysis access.
• Prostatic Artery Embolisation for BPH A minimally invasive alternative to surgery for an enlarged prostate, performed by blocking blood flow to the prostate to shrink it.
• Uterine Fibroid Embolisation (UFE) A procedure to shrink uterine fibroids by blocking their blood supply, offering an alternative to hysterectomy or myomectomy.
• Uterine Artery Embolisation for Post-Partum Haemorrhage (PPH) An emergency, minimally invasive procedure to control severe bleeding after childbirth by blocking the uterine arteries.
• Genicular Artery Embolisation for Osteoarthritis A procedure to reduce chronic knee pain from osteoarthritis by blocking small arteries supplying the inflamed joint lining.
• Left Gastric Artery Embolisation for Morbid Obesity A weight-management procedure that reduces hunger-hormone production by blocking blood flow to part of the stomach.
• Varicose Vein Ablation and Injection Sclerotherapy Minimally invasive treatments that close off or shrink diseased veins in the legs, relieving pain and improving appearance.
• Endovascular Management of Soft Tissue Arteriovenous Malformation Image-guided treatment to block abnormal connections between arteries and veins in soft tissue.
• Post Live Donor Liver Transplant & Renal Transplant Interventional Procedures Specialised vascular and biliary interventions to manage complications following liver or kidney transplantation.
• Peripheral Arterial Disease with both acute and chronic limb ischemia (CLI), limb saving procedures ranging from angioplasty, thrombolysis, stenting including atherectomy.
• Thrombectomy in Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and Acute Pulmonary Embolism including IVC filter placement.
• Endovascular repair of aortic aneurysm and dissection (EVAR).

Non-Vascular Interventional Procedures

• FNAC / Biopsy Image-guided fine needle aspiration or tissue biopsy to accurately diagnose tumours and other abnormalities.
• Aspiration / Percutaneous Catheter Drainage (PCD) A procedure to drain fluid or abscess collections from the body using a catheter placed under imaging guidance.
• Percutaneous Trans Hepatic Biliary Drainage (PTBD) A procedure to relieve blocked bile ducts by placing a drainage catheter directly through the liver.
• Microwave and Radio Frequency Ablation (MWA/RFA) including Cryoablation Heat / Cold based techniques used to destroy tumours in the liver, lungs, bones, and thyroid without open surgery.
• USG Guided Joint and Tendon Injections for Pain Ultrasound-guided injections delivered precisely into joints or tendons for effective, targeted pain relief.
• Lymphangiogram including Thoracic Duct Interventions in patients with Chyle leak.
