Overview

Venous diseases occur when the veins that carry blood back to the heart become blocked, damaged, or weakened. These conditions can lead to swelling, pain, blood clots, or circulation problems.Interventional Radiology offers advanced minimally invasive treatments for venous disorders using image-guided techniques. Through small catheter-based procedures, doctors can treat blocked or damaged veins without the need for major surgery.

Our venous treatment services include:

  • Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Treatment

  • Pulmonary Thromboembolism (PTE) Management

  • Arteriovenous Fistula (AVF) Plasty

  • Varicose Vein Treatment

  • Central Venous Occlusion Treatment

These procedures help restore normal blood flow, prevent complications, and improve patient quality of life.

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

What is DVT?

Deep Vein Thrombosis occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein, usually in the legs. If untreated, the clot can travel to the lungs and cause serious complications.

Treatment

Interventional radiologists can remove or dissolve clots using catheter-directed thrombolysis or thrombectomy, restoring blood flow and reducing complications.

Symptoms

  • Swelling in the leg

  • Pain or tenderness

  • Warm or discolored skin

  • Leg heaviness

Pulmonary Thromboembolism (PTE)

What is PTE?

Pulmonary Thromboembolism occurs when a blood clot travels to the lungs, blocking pulmonary arteries and reducing oxygen supply.

Treatment

Minimally invasive procedures such as catheter-directed thrombolysis or clot removal can quickly restore blood flow and reduce life-threatening complications.

Symptoms

  • Sudden shortness of breath

  • Chest pain

  • Rapid heart rate

  • Coughing up blood

AVF Plasty (Arteriovenous Fistula Plasty)

What is AVF Plasty?

Arteriovenous fistulas are commonly created in patients undergoing hemodialysis for kidney disease. Over time, the fistula may become narrowed or blocked.AVF plasty is a procedure where a balloon catheter is used to widen the narrowed fistula, restoring proper blood flow for dialysis treatment.

Benefits

  • Maintains dialysis access
  • Minimally invasive procedure
  • Short recovery time
  • Improved dialysis efficiency

Varicose Veins

Varicose veins are swollen, twisted veins, usually visible under the skin of the legs. They occur when vein valves weaken and blood pools in the veins.

Our venous treatment services include:

Treatment Options

  • Endovenous laser therapy

  • Radiofrequency ablation

  • Sclerotherapy

Symptoms

  • Visible bulging veins

  • Leg pain or heaviness

  • Swelling in the legs

  • Skin discoloration

Central Venous Occlusion

What is Central Venous Occlusion?

Central venous occlusion occurs when major veins in the chest become narrowed or blocked, often due to long-term catheter use or previous medical procedures.

Symptoms

  • Swelling in the face or arms

  • Prominent veins in the chest or neck

  • Difficulty with dialysis access

Treatment Options

Interventional radiologists can treat the condition using:

  • Balloon angioplasty to widen the vein

  • Venous stenting to keep the vein open

These procedures restore blood flow and relieve symptoms.

Advantages of Interventional Venous Treatments

  • Minimally invasive procedures
  • Small puncture instead of surgery
  • Faster recovery time
  • Reduced hospital stay
  • Image-guided precision treatment
  • Lower complication risk
