STAR Hospital has some of the
best Interventional radiologist in Hyderabad. Being a super specialty of radiology, IR uses image guidance like ultrasound, CT, MRI, and fluoro, to diagnose abnormalities inside the body and treat many medical conditions with small incisions, through
minimally invasive methods thus avoiding major surgeries. IR offers most procedures to be done in local anesthesia without general anesthesia. Most of the procedures are daycare or outpatient procedures with safety better outcomes and fewer hospital stays reducing the medical costs.
We are equipped with
state-of-the-art, advanced CATH labs with high-resolution neuro and peripheral Angio suites, 3D rotational Angio, and 3D CT supported by advanced software applications. These are highly useful in advanced and complicated procedures like complex intracranial embolization, and aortic and gastro interventions. Interventional radiology
offers treatment from head to toe involving different specialties like
neurological sciences,
cardiac sciences, vascular, oncological,
obstetrics and gynecology,
urology,
gastroenterology, and
hepatology.
Neuro Interventions
We work closely with our neuro team to treat patients suffering from
aneurysms through coiling/Flow diverters,
strokes through mechanical thrombectomy,
carotid stenosis through relevant stenting, and arteriovenous malformations from embolization.
Obstetrics and Gynae disorders
In case of issues like vaginal bleeding, fibroids, or AVMs, we regularly perform a non-invasive Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE). For women dealing with infertility, we do a simple X-ray procedure, Hysterosalpingography (HSG), to view the inside of the uterus and fallopian tubes, and perform fallopian tube recanalization in case of any blocks or adhesions.
Renal and Urological Interventions
For those suffering from varicocele or pelvic congestion syndrome, we perform spermatic vein or ovarian vein embolisation/sclerotherapy; and for BPH, we perform prostatic artery embolisation. Venous and dialysis access interventions like fistuloplasty, central venous stenting, and placement are regularly conducted.
Vascular Interventions
Laser ablation for varicose veins, angioplasty/stenting for peripheral arterial diseases, Catheter-directed thrombolysis/thrombosuction for DVT/ arterial thrombotic occlusion. Intravascular lithotripsy for high calcific burden occlusions. Embolisation/sclerotherapy for peripheral AVMs/hemangiomas. Stent grafting for iliac/ aortic aneurysms(EVAR, TEVAR).
Gastro and Liver Interventions
Hepatobiliary and transplant-related interventions like PTBD, TIPS/DIPS, Hepatic vein /IVC stenting /venoplasty, hepatic artery angioplasty/ thrombolysis, and BRTO/PARTO for gastric varices. TACE /TARE for liver Malignant tumors, Embolisation for GI bleed
Ablations and Other Embolizations
We support our oncology team by performing ablations on malignant tumors of the liver, lung, or kidney, benign thyroid nodules, and Osteoid osteoma ablation. We also cover a wide range of other embolisation procedures, for acute post-traumatic bleeds, hemoptysis, osteoarthritis, and Pre-Op tumor embolisation.
