PIIT works in tandem with primary care providers (PCPs) and other specialists, fostering coordinated care within clinics and collaborative teams. Referring a patient to an interventional radiologist doesn’t compromise patient retention, as you remain an integral part of their treatment journey.
Contemporary healthcare sees more and more patients actively engaging with social media to research for their treatment options, exchanging experiences and seeking insights from diverse online forums, platforms and patient advocacy groups. Frequently, these inquiries revolve around the availability of minimally invasive treatment options and their suitability for specific conditions. Referring your patient to PIIT will only strengthen his faith in your competence for being aware of the most advanced medical procedures available for his condition.”

Why Choose Interventional Radiology?
Interventional radiologists, certified in their field, employ advanced imaging techniques such as X-ray, CT, MRI, and ultrasound for precise patient diagnoses and targeted treatments. Operating in both hospital and outpatient settings, these professionals address a wide spectrum of illnesses. The practice of IR contributes to shorter hospital stays, a reduction in potential complications, and even life-saving interventions.
With expertise spanning diagnostic radiology and the skillful application of minimally invasive therapies, interventional radiologists stand at the forefront of medical advancements. They leverage cutting-edge image-guided technologies to confront some of medicine’s most challenging conditions. Collaborating seamlessly across various specialties, IRs comprehend individual patient needs, exchange insights, and devise specific care strategies.
To excel in their roles, interventional radiologists not only possess comprehensive knowledge of minimally invasive treatments but also grasp diverse disciplines and innovative procedures. This holistic approach enhances patient outcomes and bolsters comprehensive treatment plans.
What Conditions Does PIIT Treat?
Interventional radiologists at PIIT are experts in managing a broad spectrum of conditions, such as:
Addressing peripheral arterial disease (PAD), interventional radiologists alleviate associated pain and disability using techniques like balloon angioplasty and stenting. They also manage varicose veins and various vascular issues, including acute and chronic deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.
Employing methods such as chemoembolization, selective internal radiation, cryoablation, radiofrequency ablation, and emerging approaches like immunotherapy, interventional radiologists target multiple types of cancer. These interventions can sometimes downstage the disease, enabling subsequent curative steps or transplantations. Additionally, they play a crucial role in managing cancer-related pain, delivering palliative care, conducting biopsies, and facilitating chest port placements—forming a comprehensive, minimally invasive care framework for cancer patients.
IR therapies effectively address conditions such as uterine fibroids, specific pelvic pain issues, and certain infertility concerns. Embolization techniques block blood flow to manage fibroids, adenomyosis, uterine arteriovenous malformations, and postpartum hemorrhage. Chronic pelvic pain stemming from pelvic venous disease or congestion can also be alleviated through embolization. Moreover, minimally invasive recanalization treats infertility caused by fallopian tube blockage.
Interventional radiologists assist in alleviating symptoms related to enlarged prostates using procedures like prostate artery embolization. Additionally, they address varicoceles, enlarged veins in the scrotum, through minimally invasive embolization.
