Interventional Radiology at Renova Hospitals – advanced minimally invasive procedures

What is Interventional Radiology? | Best Interventional Radiology Hospital in Hyderabad

Interventional Radiology (IR) uses advanced imaging such as X-ray, CT, and ultrasound to diagnose and treat conditions through small punctures or catheters instead of open surgery. At Renova Hospitals, experienced IR specialists provide precise, minimally invasive treatments in collaboration with other specialties, helping reduce pain, hospital stay, and recovery time with advanced imaging support.

Why Renova is Among the Best Interventional Radiology Hospitals in Hyderabad


Renova Hospitals combines advanced imaging technology with dedicated interventional expertise, supporting specialities from oncology and vascular surgery to nephrology and gynaecology.

  • Dedicated IR team with expertise in vascular, oncology, hepatobiliary, and neuro interventions.
  • 3-Tesla MRI, 128-slice CT, digital fluoroscopy, and high-resolution ultrasound suites for image-guided procedures.
  • DSA (Digital Subtraction Angiography) capability for complex vascular and neuro-interventional cases.
  • Minimally invasive procedures across tumour ablation, embolisation, drainage, and stenting.
  • NABH-accredited network with 24/7 emergency interventional support.
  • Integrated multidisciplinary tumour board, ensuring every oncology IR decision is reviewed collaboratively.

Specialised Interventional Radiology Focus Areas


Interventional Oncology

For patients with liver, kidney, or lung tumours who are not candidates for open surgery, interventional oncology procedures offer life-extending alternatives. Renova's oncology IR team performs trans-arterial chemoembolisation (TACE) and trans-arterial radioembolisation (TARE) for hepatocellular carcinoma, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and microwave ablation for liver metastases and renal cell carcinoma, and pre-operative tumour embolisation to reduce surgical bleeding. These procedures are typically performed under sedation, with same-day or next-day discharge for eligible patients.

Vascular and Peripheral Arterial Interventions

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), varicose veins, and aortic aneurysms are increasingly managed through catheter-based interventional radiology rather than open vascular surgery. Our IR team performs percutaneous angioplasty and stenting for peripheral arterial blocks, thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy for acute limb ischaemia and DVT, TEVAR and EVAR for aortic aneurysm or dissection, IVC filter placement, RF ablation or Venaseal for varicose veins, and sclerotherapy for venous and lymphatic malformations.

Neuro-Interventional Radiology

Stroke intervention is time-critical. Renova's neuro-interventional capability covers mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischaemic stroke, intracranial aneurysm coiling (balloon-assisted and stent-assisted), flow diverter placement for large or fusiform aneurysms, AVM and dural AVF embolisation, carotid stenting for carotid artery stenosis, and intracranial stenting for basilar and middle cerebral artery disease. Interventional radiology has extended the treatable window for acute stroke from 4 hours to up to 24 hours, dramatically improving outcomes for eligible patients.

Hepatobiliary and Gastrointestinal Interventions

Patients with biliary obstruction, portal hypertension, liver abscess, and GI bleeding are managed through image-guided procedures including percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD), metallic biliary stenting for malignant strictures, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPSS) for portal hypertension and refractory ascites, embolisation for GI bleeding and pseudoaneurysms, direct intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (DIPSS) for Budd-Chiari syndrome, and transjugular liver biopsy (TJLB).

Nephrology and Urology Interventions

Renova's IR team supports the nephrology and urology departments with percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) for urinary obstruction, ureteric stenting, renal biopsy, microwave ablation for renal cell carcinoma, prostatic artery embolisation (PAE) for benign prostatic hyperplasia, varicocele embolisation, and dialysis access management including fistuloplasty and permcath placement.

Gynaecological Interventional Radiology

Uterine fibroid embolisation (UFE) is a well-established, minimally invasive alternative to hysterectomy for women with symptomatic fibroids. Renova also performs uterine artery embolisation for uterine arteriovenous malformations, postpartum haemorrhage, and placenta accreta. Pelvic congestion syndrome interventions are available for women with chronic pelvic pain secondary to dilated pelvic veins.

Non-Vascular and Musculoskeletal Interventions

Image-guided biopsy and drainage form the backbone of non-vascular IR. Renova performs CT-guided lung and mediastinal biopsy, ultrasound-guided liver and soft-tissue FNAC and core biopsy, percutaneous abscess and collection drainage, cholecystostomy, and pigtail insertion for pleural effusion or pancreatic pseudocysts. Musculoskeletal interventions include vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, osteoid osteoma RF ablation, and joint aspiration and injection under imaging guidance.

Interventional Radiology in Pain Management

Chronic pain from spine, joints, and advanced cancer is addressed through interventional radiology without the risks of open surgery. Procedures include vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty for spinal compression fractures, celiac ganglion block for upper abdominal cancer pain, facet nerve blocks and radiofrequency nerve ablation for back pain, trigeminal nerve RF ablation for intractable facial pain, and genicular artery embolisation for knee osteoarthritis pain.

Key Image-Guided Procedures Performed at Renova


Every procedure in our Interventional Radiology department is guided by real-time imaging. Below are some of the most commonly performed interventions:

  • TACE (Trans-Arterial Chemoembolisation): delivers chemotherapy directly into liver tumour blood supply, limiting systemic toxicity.
  • Mechanical Thrombectomy: physically retrieves clots from brain or peripheral arteries in stroke and acute ischaemia.
  • Uterine Fibroid Embolisation (UFE): blocks fibroid blood supply, shrinking fibroids without removing the uterus.
  • Percutaneous Nephrostomy (PCN): drains urine directly from the kidney when ureters are blocked.
  • TIPSS: creates a shunt inside the liver to relieve portal hypertension and control variceal bleeding.
  • Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty: injects bone cement into fractured vertebrae to restore stability and relieve pain.
  • RF Ablation and Microwave Ablation: uses heat to destroy tumour tissue in liver, kidney, and bone.
  • IVC Filter Placement: a small metal filter placed in the vena cava to trap dangerous blood clots before they reach the lungs.

When Should You See an Interventional Radiologist?


Consider consulting Renova's Interventional Radiology department if you or a family member:

  • Have a liver, kidney, or lung tumour and are not suitable for, or prefer to avoid, open surgery.
  • Are experiencing leg pain, swelling, or non-healing wounds due to peripheral artery or vein disease.
  • Have uterine fibroids causing heavy periods, pelvic pain, or pressure symptoms.
  • Require urgent stroke intervention or emergency embolisation for internal bleeding.
  • Have biliary obstruction or jaundice requiring drainage before or instead of surgery.
  • Are on dialysis with a poorly functioning access fistula or graft.
  • Have severe back pain from spinal fractures that has not responded to conservative treatment.
  • Need a minimally invasive biopsy for suspected cancer or tissue diagnosis.
