KMCH SPECIALITY CARE

Minimally Invasive Interventional Treatments

The Department of Interventional Radiology & Imaging Sciences at KMCH is a vital center for accurate diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment. Led by Dr. Mathew Cherian, we leverage world-class technology, including our advanced Artis Zee Biplane Cath Lab, to offer highly specialized procedures in vascular, non-vascular, brain, and spinal cord interventions.

RADIOLOGY PROCEDURES

Comprehensive Interventional Radiology Treatments

Our specialists perform a wide range of procedures, offering alternatives to traditional open surgery through cutting-edge, pinhole techniques.

Brain and Spinal Cord Interventions

These specialized, minimally invasive procedures are performed on the central nervous system:
Aneurysm Coiling: Treatment to block blood flow to a cerebral aneurysm, preventing rupture.
Stroke Thrombolysis: Emergency clot-busting treatment for acute ischemic stroke.
AVM Embolization: Blocking blood flow to an Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM).
Carotico Cavernous Fistula (CCF) Treatment: Closure of abnormal connections between arteries and veins in the head.
Carotid Stenting: Placing a stent to open narrowed carotid arteries, preventing stroke.
Vertebroplasty: Stabilization of fractured or collapsed vertebrae in the spine.
Angiography: Detailed diagnostic imaging of blood vessels in the brain and spine.

Advanced Vascular Procedures (VEIN CLINIC)

Our expertise covers the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the arteries and veins throughout the body:
PVD Treatment (Angioplasty and Stenting): Opening blocked or narrowed peripheral blood vessels to restore circulation.
RF Ablation for Varicose Veins: A heat-based technique to close off problematic varicose veins.
DVT Thrombolysis: Dissolving dangerous blood clots deep within the veins (Deep Vein Thrombosis).
Embolization: Blocking blood flow to specific areas, often used to stop bleeding or shrink tumors.
TIPS (T1PSS) for Portal Hypertension: A specialized shunt procedure to manage severe liver disease complications.
Stent Graft for Aneurysm: Endovascular repair of aortic aneurysms using a stent graft.
IVC Filters: Placement of filters in the Vena Cava to prevent blood clots from traveling to the lungs.
ChemoEmbolization for Liver Cancer: Direct delivery of chemotherapy drugs to liver tumors.

Non-Vascular Interventions

We provide minimally invasive treatments for systems outside of the blood vessels:

Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE): Blocking blood flow to uterine fibroids, causing them to shrink.
Biliary Stenting: Placing a stent to open blocked bile ducts.
RF Ablation for Tumors (Non-Liver): Using radiofrequency heat to destroy small tumors in the lungs, kidneys, or bones.
Fallopian Tube Recanalization: A procedure to open blocked fallopian tubes for fertility treatment.

CARE FOR INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY

Advanced Imaging and Diagnostic Facilities

Artis Zee Biplane Cath Lab

World-class facility used for complex interventional procedures, especially in neuro and cardiac fields, providing simultaneous views for enhanced safety and precision.

500 Volume CT Scan

One of the country's first. Considered the best tool in the world for CT Angiography, providing rapid and extremely detailed vascular imaging.

MAGNETOM Skyra 3T MRI

First of its kind in Tamil Nadu. Delivers superior image quality in less time. Its 70 cm wide bore reduces claustrophobia, accommodating children, obese, critical, and elderly patients.
