Interventional Radiology

STAR Hospital has some of the best Interventional radiologist in Hyderabad. Being a super-speciality of radiology, IR utilises image guidance, such as 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 performed under local anaesthesia without general anaesthesia. Most procedures are performed in daycare or outpatient settings, resulting in better safety outcomes and fewer hospital stays, which in turn reduces medical costs.

We are equipped with state-of-the-art, advanced CATH labs featuring high-resolution neuro and peripheral Angiography suites, 3D rotational Angiography, and 3D CT supported by advanced software applications. These are highly useful in advanced and complex procedures, such as complex intracranial embolisation and aortic and gastrointestinal interventions. Interventional radiology offers treatment from head to toe involving various specialities such as neurological sciences, cardiac sciences, vascular, oncological, obstetrics and gynaecology, 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 through 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, such as fistuloplasty, central venous stenting, and placement, are regularly conducted.

 

Vascular Interventions

Laser ablation for varicose veins, angioplasty/stenting for peripheral arterial diseases, and 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 of malignant tumours in the liver, lung, or kidney, as well as benign thyroid nodules and osteoid osteomas. We also cover a wide range of other embolisation procedures for acute post-traumatic bleeds, hemoptysis, osteoarthritis, and Pre-Op tumor embolisation.
