Endovascular treatments are minimally invasive procedures that are done inside the blood vessels and can be used to treat peripheral arterial disease. Treatments like Anti Platelets, Anti-Diabetics, Statins, Promote Collaterals, etc.

contrast agent • Only proven safe contrast agent in Renal Failure and Contrast allergy • is highly soluble & has low viscosity • displaces the blood and produces a NEGATIVE CONTRAST on DSA • should not be used in thoracic aorta, coronary artery and cerebral circulation- Neurotoxicity and Cardiac Arrhythmias • Eliminated by the lungs in a single pass
Claudication…. Max Distance of 10mins On Doppler: severe atherosclerotic calcific changes in the Superficial fem On Investigations: CBC is normal but, S. Creat : 1.7. Referred for Angiography SOS Angioplasty.

be single or double lumen • Polyurethane/Silastic • Inserted percutaneously ➡ Basalic vein ➡ Cephalic vein • Threaded upto the superior vena cava PICC(Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter)
and helps anchor cath • Measure and document external length of PICC with each dressing change • Unused ports must be flushed with Heparin solution and clamped PICC(Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter)
causes prolonged immobility • Age > 40 • Pregnancy, birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy • Cancer and its treatment • Major surgery (ex: abdomen, pelvis, hip facture, knee fracture, hip or knee replacement) • Obesity • Previous DVT or PE

possible and continue it for at least 5 days and then switch over to oral anticoagulants Standard of Treatment In addition to the LMWH, you should now consider IVC Filter Placement & Catheter-directed thrombolytic therapy for her because she is otherwise well, has a normal life expectancy, has a low risk of bleeding and the DVT is of less than 14 days’ duration. so we plan for IVC Filter Placement Catheter Directed Thrombolysis(CDT)
is given • An infusion of r-TPA is started at 1mg /hr from the popliteal sheath and of Heparin at 500 IU from the right femoral sheath. • Pt shifted to the ICU for 24hrs and Check Venogram after 24 hrs

volume of saline that is delivered equals the fluid volume that is removed from the patient Saline escapes from the outflow window of the catheter and acts to loosen thrombus and push it toward the inflow windows The thrombus is captured through the inflow windows, fragmented within the AngioJet ™ catheter and evacuated through the catheter.
need for concomitant CDT • No ICU care required • Reduction of thrombolytic agent dose and infusion time • Reduction of the bleeding risk associated with CDT. Pharmaco-mechanical Thrombectomy (PMT)
also of the testicular vein. • Seen commonly in men aged 15-30yrs and rarely after 40 yrs. • Occurs in 15-20% of all the males and 40% of all infertile males. • Normal vessels of the plexus -0.5mm; --- More than 2mm-Varicocele

introduced into the testicular vein under fluoroguidance(in Cathlab) • Minimally Invasive Procedure • No stitches needed • Patient can go in 6hrs. • Lower rates of complications
Benign tumour of uterine smooth muscle • Fibroids are not considered to be precancerous • Fibroids are linked to oestrogen • > 50% women eventually develop fibroids • 10-30% are symptomatic

treatment • 50-70% decrease in fibroid volume • Effective for multiple fibroids • recurrence is very rare • does not affect fertility- Infact Improves it.
younger. • Heavy menstrual bleeding, severe pelvic pain during menstrual cycle. • wants to avoid painful recovery from hysterectomy • poor surgical candidate
Embolisation- (PAE) for symptomatic Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia(BPH) may become a popular treatment like Uterine Artery Embolisation for Uterine Fibroids(Carnevale, GEST 2012)
adults • Benign enlargement of the prostate gland • Gland enlarges, extending upwards into the bladder and obstructing the outflow of urine • 50% of all men in their lifetime develop BPH
frequency of urination • Nocturia • Urgency • Decrease in Volume and Force of urinary stream • Dribbling • Sensation of incomplete emptying of the bladder
candidates - prostate too big - underlying co-morbidities • Patient with severe LUTS due to BPH • Prostate size minimum 40mg • Patient who have failed medical management - Insufficient improvement with medical therapy - Intolerance to medical therapy Exclusion Criteria • Renal Failure • Uncorrectable coagulopathy • Disease of the Lower Urinary Tract - Prostate: Cancer, prostatitis - Bladder: Neurogenic dysfunction, cancer, calculi - Urethra: stricture, cancer
under LA • Cathetherisation of the Internal Iliac arteries • Identification of the Prostatic artery and embolisation with PVA particles(150-250 microns) using a microcatheter-wire combination. • Discharge after 24hrs. • Follow up after 1 month.
to be popular as UAE and may replace TURP. • PAE is a promising minimal invasive procedure for pts who prefer to avoid surgery. • PAE is feasible, safe, and highly effective technique ….. Nevertheless Challenging!!! • Increase the awareness - Physicians & Patients - Promotion through Media/Internet - Dedicated IR Clinic promotion
- embolising the Superior Rectal Artery • Bariatric Embolisation - embolising the Left Gastric Artery • Embolisation in Painful Musculoskeletal Disorders- Osteoarthritis/Frozen Shoulder/Tendinopathy
