Interventional radiology is the use of imaging equipment to guide our clinicians to access areas of your pet’s body to deliver treatment. This gives us a lot of new options for treatment, and is minimally invasive, meaning that there is less need for open surgeries.
The benefits to our patients are:
- Faster recovery times
- Less pain
- Less chance of wound complications
- And many treatments are for conditions that were previously untreatable.
Commonly treated conditions include:
- Vascular – The circulatory system
- Renal system (kidneys, bladder etc)
- Respiratory system
- Gastrointestinal
- Cardiac – conditions of the heart
