Overview of Specialty

The Department of Interventional Radiology at Yashoda Medicity and Yashoda Super Speciality Hospital, Kaushambi, specializes in minimally invasive procedures performed under advanced image guidance, including Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA), Fluoroscopy, Ultrasound, CT, and MRI.

These procedures at private hospitals in Ghaziabad often replace conventional surgery, offering patients smaller incisions, less pain, faster recovery, and fewer complications. Most interventions are performed under local anaesthesia with mild sedation, ensuring patient comfort throughout.

Advantages of Interventional Radiology:

  • Smaller incisions, often only a needle puncture

  • Minimal pain and scarring

  • Shorter hospital stay

  • Faster recovery and return to normal activities

  • Lower risk of complications and infection

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Most interventional radiology procedures are covered under health insurance. The hospital billing team will help check your coverage and guide you through the process.

You can be referred by your physician or specialist, or you may contact the Interventional Radiology team directly. They will review your case and recommend the most suitable treatment.

Recovery times vary, but many individuals resume light activities within 24–48 hours. More complex procedures may require a slightly longer rest period.

Most IR procedures require only local anaesthesia with sedation. General anaesthesia is used only for complex procedures or when necessary for comfort.

Preparation depends on the procedure. It may involve fasting for a few hours, stopping certain medications, or having blood tests. The IR team will provide a personalised pre-procedure checklist.

Yes. Interventional Radiology is generally safe and has a lower complication rate compared to more invasive treatments. All procedures are performed by highly trained interventional radiologists using advanced imaging technology. Risks vary depending on the procedure and overall health, and these are discussed in detail beforehand.

Very small incisions (often just a needle puncture)

Less pain and minimal scarring

Shorter hospital stay

Faster recovery and return to daily activities

Lower risk of infection and complications

Most IR procedures involve inserting a thin catheter or needle through the skin, guided precisely to the target area using imaging. Local anaesthesia and mild sedation are usually used, so individuals remain awake but comfortable.

IR can manage a wide range of conditions, including:

Stroke (mechanical thrombectomy, carotid stenting

Brain aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations (coiling, embolisation)

Peripheral artery disease and varicose veins

Tumours in the liver, kidney, lung, or bone (chemoembolisation, ablation)

Spine and bone pain (vertebroplasty, nerve blocks)

Biliary and urinary obstructions (drainage, stenting)

Uterine fibroids, enlarged prostate, and more

Interventional Radiology (IR) is a specialised branch of medicine that uses imaging techniques such as X-ray, ultrasound, CT, or MRI to perform minimally invasive procedures. These often replace traditional surgery, allowing for faster recovery, less pain, and fewer complications.
