About the Department

Interventional Radiology 

The Best Vascular Interventional Radiology Department in Lucknow | Charak Hospital.

 Charak Hospital's Interventional Radiology Department is comprised of a team of experts dedicated to giving patients high-quality radiology diagnoses. The division offers accurate and high-end diagnostic services, supported by cutting-edge technology, professional technicians, highly qualified doctors, and support staff. The department also features state-of-the-art interventional radiology equipment.

The department is a well-known facility for exceedingly complicated interventional work. The interventional division performs a wide variety of peripheral/thoracoabdominal vascular and non-vascular interventional therapy procedures on a regular basis.

Charak Hospital is a significant center for difficult neurointerventional operations such as aneurysm coiling, AVM embolization, carotid stenting, and so on, with a staff of top interventional radiologists. The department takes a lead in mechanical thrombectomy in cerebral stroke, which is not widely offered elsewhere.

  • Varicose Veins: Varicose veins are a common condition that can cause pain, swelling, and discomfort. Our department specializes in minimally invasive treatments such as endogenous laser therapy (EVLT) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) to treat varicose veins.
  • Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): DVT is a condition where blood clots form in the deep veins, most commonly in the legs. Our department offers a range of treatments for DVT, including catheter-directed thrombolysis, inferior vena cava (IVC) filter placement, and venous stenting.
  • Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD): PAD is a condition where the arteries in the legs or arms become narrow or blocked, leading to decreased blood flow. Our department offers a range of treatments for PAD, including angioplasty, stenting, and atherectomy.
  • Limb Ischemia: Limb ischemia is a condition where there is a lack of blood flow to the limbs, causing pain and other symptoms. Our department offers a range of treatments for limb ischemia, including angioplasty, stenting, and thrombectomy.
  • Diabetic Foot Management: Diabetes can cause damage to the blood vessels and nerves in the feet, leading to foot ulcers and infections. Our department specializes in the management of diabetic foot ulcers, including wound care and vascular interventions such as angioplasty and stenting.
  • Uterine Artery Embolization: Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat uterine fibroids and other conditions of the uterus. Our department offers UAE as an alternative to surgical procedures such as hysterectomy.
  • Prostate Artery Embolization: Prostate artery embolization (PAE) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Our department offers PAE as an alternative to surgical procedures such as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).
  • Aortic Stenting: Aortic stenting is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat aortic aneurysms and other conditions of the aorta. Our department offers a range of treatments for aortic conditions, including endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) and thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR).
  • Vascular Malformations: Vascular malformations are abnormal formations of blood vessels that can cause pain and other symptoms. Our department offers a range of treatments for vascular malformations, including embolization and sclerotherapy.
  • Carotid Artery Disease: Carotid artery disease is a condition where the arteries in the neck that supply blood to the brain become narrowed or blocked. Our department offers a range of treatments for carotid artery disease, including carotid stenting and endarterectomy.
  • Mesenteric Ischemia: Mesenteric ischemia is a condition where there is a lack of blood flow to the intestines, causing abdominal pain and other symptoms. Our department offers a range of treatments for mesenteric ischemia, including angioplasty, stenting, and thrombectomy.
  • Dialysis Fistula Salvage: Dialysis fistula salvage is a procedure used to treat complications associated with arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) and grafts used for haemodialysis. Our department offers a range of treatments for dialysis fistula salvage, including angioplasty and stenting.
  • Endovascular Management of Stroke: Our department provides endovascular treatment for ischemic stroke, including mechanical thrombectomy, a minimally invasive procedure that removes blood clots from the brain's blood vessels.

We are committed to providing personalized, high-quality care for all our patients and using the latest minimally invasive techniques to ensure the best possible outcomes. Our team of experts includes highly skilled interventional radiologists, nurses, and technologists who work together to provide comprehensive care for all our patients.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Interventional radiology is a medical specialty that uses minimally invasive, image-guided procedures to diagnose and treat diseases. It can be used to treat a variety of conditions including vascular diseases (such as aneurysms and peripheral artery disease), cancer (for tumor embolization or ablation), and non-vascular conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and uterine fibroids. The procedures are often alternatives to open surgery.

nterventional radiology procedures are performed using real-time imaging technologies such as X-ray, MRI, or ultrasound to guide the intervention. A small incision is made to access the targeted area, and then a catheter or other devices are inserted to deliver the treatment. The procedures are typically less invasive, cause less pain, and have shorter recovery times compared to open surgery.

Before the procedure, you will have a consultation with the interventional radiologist to discuss the details of the procedure, potential risks, and benefits. You may need to fast for a certain number of hours, and you should inform the medical team of any medications you are taking. During the procedure, you will be sedated or under general anesthesia, and the procedure is usually painless. After the procedure, you will be monitored in a recovery area and will be able to go home the same day for many procedures, although follow-up appointments will be necessary to monitor your progress.

Interventional radiology procedures are generally considered safe, with risks that are typically lower than those associated with open surgery. Risks can include bleeding, infection, and complications related to the anesthesia. The interventional radiologist will discuss these risks with you before the procedure. It is important to weigh the risks against the benefits of the procedure in managing your condition.
