Welcome to the Department of Interventional Radiology & Endovascular Surgery, providing advanced, image-guided treatment options across vascular diseases, cancer care, hepatobiliary disorders, women's and men's health, neurological conditions, and other medical specialties.
Interventional Radiology (IR) is a medical specialty that uses imaging techniques such as X-ray, fluoroscopy, ultrasound, CT, and angiography to diagnose and treat a wide range of medical conditions through minimally invasive procedures.
Often described as pinhole surgery, interventional radiology allows many conditions to be treated through small needle punctures or tiny incisions, potentially avoiding the need for conventional open surgery in appropriately selected patients. Depending on the procedure and the patient's condition, treatment may be performed as a day-care procedure or require a hospital stay.
Under the clinical expertise of Dr. Mohit, our department focuses on individualized treatment planning, image-guided precision, and patient-centred care.
Why Choose Interventional Radiology?
Interventional radiology offers minimally invasive alternatives to conventional surgery for many medical conditions.
Minimally Invasive Procedures
Many treatments are performed through small needle punctures or tiny incisions rather than large surgical cuts.
Image-Guided Precision
Real-time imaging helps guide instruments and treatment to the targeted area.
Recovery & Hospital Stay
Depending on the procedure, patients may benefit from a shorter recovery period and reduced hospital stay compared with conventional surgery.
Targeted Treatment
Selected procedures treat the affected blood vessels, organs, or tissues while aiming to preserve surrounding healthy structures.
Individualized Treatment Planning
Each patient is evaluated to determine the most appropriate treatment based on the clinical condition, imaging findings, and available treatment options.

1Vascular & Endovascular Interventions
We provide minimally invasive, image-guided treatment options for selected vascular conditions affecting the arteries and veins.
- Varicose Vein TreatmentEndovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA/EVLT), Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA), cyanoacrylate vein glue closure, and sclerotherapy for varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency.
- Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)Angioplasty and stenting to improve blood circulation in the legs.
- Diabetic Foot & Non-Healing UlcersVascular assessment and endovascular treatment of selected patients with impaired limb circulation contributing to non-healing wounds.
- Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)Catheter-directed thrombolysis and other catheter-based clot treatments in appropriately selected patients.
- Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) Filter PlacementPlacement of a filter in selected patients when indicated to reduce the risk of pulmonary embolism.
- Aortic Aneurysm TreatmentEndovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) and Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR) for suitable aortic aneurysms.
2Interventional Oncology — Minimally Invasive Cancer Treatments
Interventional oncology uses image-guided procedures to treat selected tumours and liver cancers.
- Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE)Targeted delivery of chemotherapy combined with embolization to treat selected liver tumours.
- Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)Image-guided thermal destruction of selected tumours using radiofrequency energy.
- Microwave Ablation (MWA)Image-guided thermal treatment of selected liver, lung, kidney, and bone tumours.
Treatment suitability depends on the tumour type, size, location, stage of disease, and the patient's overall clinical condition.
3Women's & Men's Health
Our minimally invasive treatment options include selected conditions affecting the uterus, prostate, and male reproductive veins.
- Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)A minimally invasive treatment for symptomatic uterine fibroids that aims to reduce their blood supply and shrink the fibroids while preserving the uterus.
- Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE)An image-guided treatment option for selected patients with urinary symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
- Varicocele EmbolizationA catheter-based treatment for selected cases of varicocele associated with scrotal discomfort or fertility concerns.
4Hepatobiliary, Portal Hypertension, Dialysis & Spine Interventions
Our department provides image-guided procedures for selected biliary, liver-related vascular, dialysis access, and spinal conditions.
- Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage (PTBD)Drainage of bile through the liver to relieve biliary obstruction.
- Biliary StentingPlacement of a stent to restore bile flow in selected cases of biliary narrowing or obstruction.
- Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS/TIPSS)Creation of a shunt within the liver to reduce portal hypertension in selected patients, including those with refractory ascites or variceal bleeding.
- Dialysis Access InterventionsAngioplasty and salvage procedures for selected dysfunctional arteriovenous (AV) fistulas.
- Tunneled Dialysis Catheter PlacementImage-guided placement of a PermCath for haemodialysis access when indicated.
- Vertebroplasty and KyphoplastyMinimally invasive procedures for selected painful vertebral compression fractures.
- Image-Guided Nerve BlocksTargeted injections for selected pain conditions.
5Emergency Embolization & Bleeding Management
Embolization is a minimally invasive procedure that uses selected materials to block abnormal or bleeding blood vessels.
- Gastrointestinal (GI) Bleeding EmbolizationCatheter-directed embolization to control selected cases of acute or recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding.
- Bronchial Artery Embolization (BAE)Treatment for selected cases of severe or recurrent haemoptysis (coughing up blood).
- Traumatic Bleeding EmbolizationImage-guided control of internal bleeding in selected patients following trauma.
- Pseudoaneurysm EmbolizationTargeted treatment of selected pseudoaneurysms to control bleeding or prevent complications.
- Vascular Malformation EmbolizationTreatment of selected abnormal vascular connections and lesions using appropriate embolic materials.
Depending on the underlying condition, embolization may involve coils, particles, liquid embolic agents, or medical adhesive agents such as glue.
6Neurointerventional Radiology & Stroke Care
Neurointerventional radiology involves catheter-based diagnosis and treatment of selected conditions affecting the blood vessels of the brain and spinal cord.
- Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA)Detailed catheter-based imaging of cerebral and spinal blood vessels to evaluate selected vascular conditions.
- Cerebral Aneurysm CoilingEndovascular treatment of selected intracranial aneurysms using detachable coils.
- Mechanical Thrombectomy for Acute Ischaemic StrokeEndovascular removal of blood clots from blocked large cerebral arteries in eligible patients.
- Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) EmbolizationCatheter-based treatment of selected abnormal connections between arteries and veins in the brain.
Acute stroke treatment is time-sensitive. Patients with suspected stroke require immediate emergency assessment to determine eligibility for appropriate treatment. Emergency: 0135-2471225
7Thyroid Nodule Ablation & Embolization of Multinodular Goitre (MNG)
Thyroid nodule ablation is a minimally invasive, image-guided treatment option for appropriately selected patients.
- Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)Uses thermal energy to reduce the volume of selected benign thyroid nodules.
- Thyroid-Sparing TreatmentEmbolization of MNG aims to reduce nodule size while preserving normal thyroid tissue and function without any scar or incision.
- Alternative to SurgeryMay be considered for selected patients with symptomatic or cosmetically concerning benign thyroid nodules following appropriate clinical assessment and diagnostic evaluation.
Suitability for thyroid nodule ablation depends on ultrasound findings, diagnostic evaluation, thyroid function, and the characteristics of the nodule.
Expert Interventional Radiology Care Led by Dr. Mohit
Dr. Mohit provides patient-focused care in interventional radiology and endovascular treatment, with an emphasis on minimally invasive, image-guided approaches.
From vascular conditions such as varicose veins and peripheral artery disease to tumour ablation, embolization, hepatobiliary interventions, and selected neurovascular procedures, treatment is planned according to each patient's individual needs.
Our approach emphasizes appropriate patient selection, careful procedural planning, and coordination with other clinical specialists whenever required.
- Appropriate patient selection
- Careful procedural planning
- Multidisciplinary coordination
