Intervention Radiology

Overview

Welcome to the Mouwasat Hospital Intervention Radiology Department 

 

At Mouwasat Hospital, our Interventional Radiology (IR) Department offers cutting-edge, minimally invasive procedures guided by medical imaging. Our team of highly skilled interventional radiologists utilizes advanced imaging technologies such as X-ray, ultrasound, CT & MRI to diagnose & treat a wide range of conditions throughout the body. 

Cases treated by Intervention Radiology

Interventional Radiology offers a less invasive alternative to traditional surgery, often resulting in smaller incisions, less pain, shorter hospital stays & faster recovery times. Our patient-centered approach focuses on providing precise & targeted treatments with minimal disruption to your life. Our department manages a broad spectrum of cases, including:
  • Angiography & Angioplasty: Diagnosis & treatment of narrowed or blocked arteries & veins using balloons & stents. This includes treatment for peripheral artery disease (PAD), renal artery stenosis & mesenteric ischemia. 
  • Thrombolysis: Dissolving blood clots in arteries & veins, such as in deep vein thrombosis (DVT) & pulmonary embolism (PE). 
  • Embolization: Blocking blood flow to abnormal blood vessels or tumors to stop bleeding, shrink tumors, or treat conditions like uterine fibroids & arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). 
  • Venous Access: Placement & management of central venous catheters (PICC lines, tunneled catheters, port-a-caths) for medication delivery, chemotherapy & dialysis. 
  • Varicose Vein Treatment: Minimally invasive treatments like sclerotherapy & endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) for varicose & spider veins. 
  • Dialysis Access Management: Creation & maintenance of arteriovenous (AV) fistulas & grafts for hemodialysis. 
  • Tumor Ablation: Using heat (radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation) or cold (cryoablation) to destroy cancerous tumors in the liver, kidney, lung & bone. 
  • Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) & Transarterial Radioembolization (TARE/Y-90): Delivering chemotherapy or radioactive particles directly to liver tumors. 
  • Biopsies: Image-guided biopsies of tumors in various organs to obtain tissue samples for diagnosis. 
  • Pain Management: Nerve blocks & tumor ablation for cancer-related pain. 
  • Venous Access for Chemotherapy: Placement of ports & PICC lines for chemotherapy administration. 
  • Biliary Drainage & Stenting: Relieving blockages in the bile ducts caused by gallstones or tumors. 
  • Percutaneous Gastrostomy (PEG) Tube Placement: Inserting feeding tubes into the stomach for patients with swallowing difficulties. 
  • Paracentesis & Thoracentesis: Draining excess fluid from the abdomen & chest. 
  • Liver Biopsy: Image-guided biopsy of the liver for diagnosis of liver diseases. 
  • Treatment of Portal Hypertension: Procedures like TIPS (Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt) to reduce pressure in the portal vein. 
  • Nephrostomy Tube Placement: Draining urine directly from the kidney when there is a blockage. 
  • Ureteral Stenting: Relieving blockages in the ureters. 
  • Renal Biopsy: Image-guided biopsy of the kidney for diagnosis of kidney diseases. 
  • Varicocele Embolization: Treating enlarged veins in the scrotum that can cause pain & infertility. 
  • Image-Guided Joint Injections: Injecting medication into joints for pain relief. 
  • Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty: Strengthening fractured vertebrae & reducing pain. 
  • Bone Biopsy: Image-guided biopsy of bone lesions. 
  • Aspiration of Joint Effusions: Draining excess fluid from joints. 
  • Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE): Blocking blood supply to uterine fibroids to shrink them & relieve symptoms. 
  • Fallopian Tube Recanalization: Opening blocked fallopian tubes to improve fertility. 
  • Ovarian Vein Embolization: Treating pelvic congestion syndrome.
