A visceral artery aneurysm is ballooning of a section of an arterial vessel, which becomes a risk for rupture and bleeding that can be fatal. Catheter-based embolization or stent-graft placement by an interventional radiologist are two major treatment options.
Mesenteric ischemia occurs when one or more of the mesenteric arteries become obstructed. As a result of the obstruction, your intestines do not receive an adequate amount of oxygen.
Claudication is the cramp like pain that develops in the leg when walking caused by peripheral arterial disease PVD or PAD. This can be treated with angioplasty, stent or atherectomy procedure.
Leg ischemia is a lack of blood flow that endangers all or part of the leg that can cause pain, wound or gangrene of the foot. This can be treated by minimally invasive options to prevent amputation.
Prostate embolization is a non-surgical way of treating an enlarged and troublesome prostate by blocking off the arteries that feed the gland and making it shrink. It is performed by an interventional radiologist, rather than a surgeon, and is an alternative to a TURP (trans urethral resection of prostate) operation. PAE was first performed in 2009.
Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE), also known as uterine artery embolization (UAE), is a non-surgical procedure that treats symptomatic fibroids by blocking their blood supply. This is performed by a specialists that is board certified in interventional radiology.
Pelvic venous congestion syndrome is a condition that is caused by what are basically ‘pelvic varicose veins’. This can be treated by an interventional radiologist as an outpatient procedure.
Vascular Malformations
Vascular Arterial DiseaseVascular malformation can represent AVMs, lymphatic or venous malformations. This can be treated by an interventional radiologist.

Mesenteric Ischemia
Vascular Arterial DiseaseMesenteric ischemia occurs when one or more of the mesenteric arteries become obstructed. As a result of the obstruction, your intestines do not receive an adequate amount of oxygen.
Hypertension/Renal Artery Stenosis
Vascular Arterial DiseaseRenal arterial stenosis can result in loss of kidney function and hypertension. This can be treated by a stent procedure.
Claudication
Vascular Arterial DiseaseClaudication is the cramp like pain that develops in the leg when walking caused by peripheral arterial disease PVD or PAD. This can be treated with angioplasty, stent or atherectomy procedure.
Non-Healing Wound/ Ischemia
Vascular Arterial DiseaseLeg ischemia is a lack of blood flow that endangers all or part of the leg that can cause pain, wound or gangrene of the foot. This can be treated by minimally invasive options to prevent amputation.
Peripheral Arterial Disease

Men's HealthInterventional Radiologists can treat a varicocele by embolization to treat infertility and pain. No major incision. No stitches. Home same day.
Prostate Artery Embolization
Men's HealthProstate embolization is a non-surgical way of treating an enlarged and troublesome prostate by blocking off the arteries that feed the gland and making it shrink. It is performed by an interventional radiologist, rather than a surgeon, and is an alternative to a TURP (trans urethral resection of prostate) operation. PAE was first performed in 2009.

Infertility / Fallopian Tube Recanalization
Women's HealthAn interventional radiologists treats the fallopian tube blockage by threading a tiny catheter through the tube to open the blockage.
