Vascular Radiology and Interventional Radiology

Vascular Radiology and Interventional Radiology

At Hospital Angeles, interventional and vascular radiology teams work together to translate medical images into clinical decisions that provide the best possible care for patients with minimal impact. They use imaging guidance—such as ultrasound, CT scans, and fluoroscopy—to diagnose and treat various diseases of the vascular system and other organs using minimally invasive techniques. This approach allows for the resolution of complex problems with shorter hospital stays, faster recovery, and less pain than open surgical procedures.

Vascular radiology at Hospital Angeles Querétaro medical imaging into highly precise treatment decisions. Our vascular radiology and interventional radiology service focuses on resolving problems in the circulatory system and other organs using minimally invasive techniques that reduce surgical trauma, pain, and recovery time. Unlike open surgery, these procedures are performed with very small incisions and with constant imaging guidance for each step, leading to shorter hospital stays and a faster recovery.

This approach relies on the use of ultrasound, computed tomography, and fluoroscopy to precisely locate the site to be treated, navigate through blood vessels with thin catheters, and administer targeted treatment. By working with real-time images, the interventional radiology team can diagnose and treat during a single procedure, which streamlines care, minimizes complications, and promotes comprehensive care. Coordination with specialties such as angiology, vascular surgery, oncology, and internal medicine allows for the design of personalized strategies that meet each patient’s needs.

Among the most common procedures are angiograms to visualize arteries and veins, embolizations to stop bleeding or reduce blood flow to tumors and malformations, and the placement of stents to open vessels obstructed by plaque or narrowing.

For each case, a clinical and imaging evaluation is performed to determine the most appropriate course of action. The goal is to offer an effective and safe alternative to conventional surgery when it is not necessary, or to complement other therapies to improve the prognosis. The minimally invasive nature of vascular radiology at Hospital Angeles Querétaro results in less post-procedure pain, a lower risk of infection, and a faster return to daily activities—benefits that patients particularly value.

Frequently Asked Questions

Vascular radiology and interventional radiology is a medical specialty that uses imaging techniques to diagnose and treat diseases of the blood vessels and other systems in the body.

The services offered by vascular radiology and interventional radiology include angiography, embolization, stent placement, and treatment of vascular malformations, among others.

Vascular radiology and interventional radiology are of vital importance because they enable minimally invasive procedures, thereby avoiding major surgery and reducing patients' recovery time.

Vascular radiology and interventional radiology procedures are performed using imaging techniques, such as X-rays, computed tomography (CT), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to guide the placement of catheters and other instruments through blood vessels.

Vascular radiology and interventional radiology can be used to treat medical conditions such as aneurysms, arterial blockages, vascular tumors, and liver and kidney diseases, among others.
