Common Questions
What Is Interventional Radiology?
Interventional Radiology (IR) is a medical specialty that uses advanced imaging techniques such as ultrasound, CT scan, and X-ray guidance to perform minimally invasive procedures. These treatments require only a tiny incision, resulting in less pain, quicker recovery, and shorter hospital stays.
What Conditions Does Dr. Dheeraj Kumar Tiwari Treat?
Dr. Dheeraj Kumar Tiwari specializes in treating a wide range of conditions, including varicose veins, uterine fibroids, enlarged prostate (BPH), thyroid nodules, liver tumors, dialysis access problems, vascular diseases, aneurysms, and peripheral artery disease using advanced image-guided techniques.
Are Interventional Radiology Procedures Safe?
Yes. Most Interventional Radiology procedures are considered safe and are performed under image guidance for greater precision. Compared to traditional surgery, they generally involve fewer complications, minimal blood loss, and faster recovery.
Will I Need Surgery?
Many conditions that previously required open surgery can now be treated with minimally invasive Interventional Radiology procedures. After evaluating your condition, Dr. Tiwari will recommend the most suitable treatment option for you.
Services Questions
What Treatments Are Available for Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins can be treated using minimally invasive procedures such as Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA), Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA), Glue Therapy (VenaSeal), and Ultrasound-Guided Foam Sclerotherapy. These procedures offer minimal pain, no major stitches, and a quick return to daily activities.
Can Uterine Fibroids Be Treated Without Surgery?
Yes. Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE/UAE) is a non-surgical treatment that shrinks fibroids by blocking their blood supply. It helps relieve symptoms while preserving the uterus and involves a much shorter recovery than open surgery.
What Is Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE)?
Prostatic Artery Embolization is a minimally invasive treatment for enlarged prostate (BPH). It reduces prostate size by decreasing its blood supply, improving urinary symptoms without major surgery.
Do You Treat Liver Tumors and Other Cancers?
Yes. Dr. Tiwari performs advanced Interventional Oncology procedures, including Tumor Ablation, Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE), and other embolization techniques for liver tumors and selected cancers.
What Are Dialysis Access Interventions?
Interventional Radiology helps maintain dialysis fistulas and grafts through angioplasty, fistuloplasty, thrombectomy, and stenting. These procedures improve blood flow and help patients continue dialysis without major surgery.
How Long Does Recovery Take After an Interventional Radiology Procedure?
Recovery is generally much faster than conventional surgery. Most patients can return home the same day or within 24 hours and resume normal activities within a few days, depending on the procedure performed.
