Interventional Radiology-revolutionizing treatments for multiple diseases and critical component of modern healthcareManipal Hospital Mukundapur
Ambar Bhattacharya, Takmaa News, Kolkata, 13th January 2025, Kolkata: Manipal Hospital, Mukundapur, today proudly announced the launch of its state-of-the-art Interventional Radiology (IR) Clinic, a prominent initiative that promises to revolutionize the landscape of minimally invasive medical care in the region in the presence of Dr. Reddi Prasad Yadavali, Chairman, HOD & Consultant – Interventional Radiology, Manipal Hospitals Group & Dr. Partha Pratim Samui Senior Consultant and In-charge Interventional Radiology, Manipal Hospital, Mukundapur, Kolkata. This advanced clinic utilizes the newest in endovascular and image-guided technologies to provide safer, quicker, and more effective treatment alternatives for a wide variety of conditions, especially in the field of cardiology.
Interventional radiology is another medical specialty commonly referred to as the “plumbing work of the human vascular system”. Using sophisticated imaging techniques such as X-rays, CT scans and ultrasound, interventional radiologists can penetrate tiny pinholes in the skin and treat blockages or abnormalities in blood vessels and in other organs. These procedures eliminate the need for traditional open surgery, resulting in minimal scarring, reduced pain, and faster recovery times.
One of the major advantages of IR procedures is that they can be done under local anesthesia thereby limiting the scope of complication that may arise due to general anesthesia. Most patients can leave the hospital after 1-2 days and get back to their usual activities very soon afterwards. Not only do these procedures make the patient more comfortable, but they are also precise in terms of treatment, with results that either approach or surpass that of ordinary surgical methods.
About the launch of IR clinic, Dr. Partha Pratim Samui, explained, “Interventional Radiology is a game-changer. By utilizing minimally invasive techniques, we treat conditions like arterial blockages, arterial bleeding, aneurysms, and varicose veins with remarkable precision all without using any anesthesia. Also, this is extremely useful in diabetes care, IR treats PAD with angioplasty and stents, prevents diabetic retinopathy with embolization, and restores kidney function via renal artery angioplasty. For neuro cases, IR performs stroke-saving thrombectomy and treats spine disorders using vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty. Patients experience less discomfort, shorter hospital stays, and a faster return to their daily lives. Our goal is to provide world-class care that’s both effective and patient friendly.”
While talking about the importance of the IR Clinic, Dr. Reddi Prasad Yadavali, shared, “Interventional radiology offers, minimally invasive ‘pinhole’ procedures that help with faster recovery, shorter hospital stay, less risks, no scar and no need for general anaesthesia; making them an ideal solution for majority of the patients. By using catheters to access organs through blood vessels, we can effectively treat a wide range of conditions including symptomatic fibroids, enlarged prostate, bleeding control, vascular problems and several cancers. These advanced techniques are transforming the way we approach healthcare in India, offering hope and healing with precision.”
Dr. Ayanabh Debgupta, Regional COO, East, Manipal Hospitals Group, shared, “At Manipal Hospitals our commitment towards delivering the highest standards of patient care and strengthening the trust of our valued stakeholders is topmost priority. Interventional Radiology has transformed technologies from diagnostic tools into precise targeted treatments, enabling clinicians to address diseases with minimal impact on surrounding tissues. The evolution in interventional radiology has resulted in a transformative shift in treatment as patients now experience minimally invasive procedures which require a minute puncture resulting in enhanced outcomes and quicker recovery times. The Interventional Radiology Clinic at Manipal Hospital, Mukundapur will redefine the way we diagnose and treat a variety of medical conditions, offering cutting-edge, minimally invasive solutions. At par with international standards.”
