What do Vascular & Interventional Radiology Physicians do?

Vascular & Interventional Radiology (VIR) physicians use image-guided, minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat a wide range of medical conditions, often using small instruments, such as catheters, inserted through blood vessels. 

They utilize advanced imaging techniques such as X-rays, CT scans, MRI, and ultrasound to guide these procedures, offering patients less pain, lower risk, and quicker recovery times compared to traditional surgery.  

What they do

Diagnose diseases: They use minimally invasive procedures and imaging to pinpoint the source of symptoms and diseases throughout the body. 

Treat diseases: They perform a variety of targeted treatments, ranging from placing devices such as stents and catheters to delivering therapies directly to diseased areas. 

Guide procedures: Imaging techniques (CT, MRI, ultrasound, X-rays) are used to guide instruments to the exact location of the issue. 

How they do it

Minimally invasive techniques: They often use a small incision or puncture site to insert tiny wires, probes, or catheters to reach internal organs and structures. 

Advanced imaging guidance: Techniques such as fluoroscopy (real-time X-ray) provide continuous, detailed views of the body’s structures, allowing the physician to visualize and navigate the intricate network of blood vessels and other pathways. 

Targeted therapies: These guided instruments can be used to deliver tiny beads to block blood flow to a tumor (embolization) or to remove harmful blood clots. 

Benefits for patients

Less invasive: VIR procedures avoid large surgical incisions, which leads to less trauma and scarring. 

Reduced pain: Patients generally experience less post-procedure pain because these procedures are often performed on veins and arteries, which lack pain-sensing nerves. 

Quicker recovery: Shorter hospital stays and reduced recovery times are common benefits of these less invasive treatments. 

Outpatient options: Many VIR procedures can be performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to go home the same day.
