Interventional Radiology Emergencies

Interventional radiology emergencies involve urgent medical situations where doctors use imaging technology, like X-rays or ultrasounds, to guide minimally invasive procedures. These procedures can treat conditions such as internal bleeding, blood clots, or blocked blood vessels quickly and effectively. When patients arrive at the emergency room, interventional radiologists collaborate with other medical teams to quickly diagnose and address life-threatening issues, often avoiding the need for more invasive surgeries. Their expertise helps stabilize patients and improve outcomes through precise, targeted interventions.
