News Desk, News Nation 360 : In the presence of Dr Reddi Prasad Yadavali, Chairman, HOD & Consultant – Interventional Radiology, Manipal Hospitals Group, and Dr Partha Pratim Samui, Senior Consultant and In-charge Interventional Radiology, Manipal Hospital, Mukundapur, Kolkata, the hospital proudly announced today the opening of its state-of-the-art Interventional Radiology (IR) Clinic, a landmark initiative that promises to transform the region's minimally invasive medical care landscape. This cutting-edge clinic offers safer, faster, and more efficient treatment options for a wide range of illnesses, particularly in the field of cardiology, by utilising the most recent advancements in endovascular and image-guided technologies. About the launch of the IR clinic, Dr. Partha Pratim Samui explained that the field of interventional radiology is revolutionary. They can precisely treat diseases including varicose veins, aneurysms, arterial obstructions, and arterial bleeding without the need for anaesthesia by employing minimally invasive treatments. This is also very helpful in the treatment of diabetes; IR avoids diabetic retinopathy by embolisation, cures PAD with angioplasty and stents, and restores kidney function by renal artery angioplasty. In neuro situations, IR addresses spine abnormalities with vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty and performs stroke-saving thrombectomy. Patients return to
their regular lives more quickly, with less discomfort and shorter hospital stays. Their mission is to deliver top-notch, patient-friendly, and efficient care. Interventions in radiology are often called the "plumbing work of the human vascular system" because they use advanced imaging techniques, such as X-rays, CT scans, and ultrasound, to access and treat blockages or abnormalities in blood vessels and other organs through tiny skin incisions. This minimally invasive approach eliminates the need for extensive open surgery, leading to reduced pain, minimal scarring, and significantly faster recovery times compared to traditional surgical methods. A primary benefit of IR procedures is the fact that they can be done under local anaesthesia, thus eliminating most of the risks associated with general anaesthesia. Most patients can be discharged within 1-2 days and return to their usual activities shortly. These procedures improve patient comfort but also offer high precision in treatment. The results of such procedures often compare or are even better than those achieved with traditional surgical methods.
