Interventional Radiology (IR) is a medical specialty that uses image-guided, minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat diseases. Using X-ray, ultrasound, CT or MRI imaging, a specialist can treat conditions through tiny incisions — often as a day procedure — avoiding the risks, pain and recovery time of traditional open surgery.
IR procedures are performed through very small punctures (often just a needle), use real-time imaging guidance, require little or no general anaesthesia, involve much shorter hospital stays (often day-care), cause far less pain and scarring, and have significantly faster recovery times compared to open surgical alternatives.
Yes. PAE is a well-established, proven procedure for Benign Prostate Hyperplasia. It has significantly lower complication rates compared to traditional TURP surgery, preserves sexual function, requires no general anaesthesia in most cases, and most patients return home the same day with excellent improvement in urinary symptoms.
Absolutely. Dr. Deogaonkar offers three modern scarless techniques: Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLT), Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) and Venaseal glue closure. All three are performed under local anaesthesia, take about 30–60 minutes, and allow patients to walk immediately. No hospitalisation, no stitches, no scars.
UAE is a minimally invasive procedure that blocks the blood supply to uterine fibroids, causing them to shrink and symptoms to resolve. It is uterus-preserving (no hysterectomy), performed through a tiny puncture, takes about an hour, and most women are back to normal activity within one to two weeks.

Not necessarily. Many patients with Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) can be treated using advanced minimally invasive procedures such as thrombectomy, catheter-directed thrombolysis, venoplasty, venous stenting, and IVC filter placement. These treatments help restore blood flow, reduce leg pain and swelling, prevent long-term complications, improve mobility, and often avoid the need for major surgery with shorter hospital stays and faster recovery.
CO₂ angiography uses carbon dioxide gas instead of iodinated contrast dye to visualise blood vessels. It is used for patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) or contrast allergy who still need angiography and angioplasty — making the procedure entirely safe for their kidneys.
Minimally invasive image-guided procedures are performed through tiny needle punctures rather than large surgical incisions. Benefits include less pain, minimal scarring, lower complication rates, shorter hospital stays, faster recovery, quicker return to daily activities, and significant improvement in overall quality of life compared to traditional surgery.
Yes. Most patients with Peripheral Arterial Disease can be treated using advanced endovascular procedures such as angioplasty and stenting. These minimally invasive treatments restore blood flow to the legs, relieve walking pain, improve wound healing, and help prevent limb loss without major surgery.
In many cases, yes. By restoring blood flow to the affected foot using angioplasty and stenting, diabetic foot ulcers and non-healing wounds can heal more effectively. Early vascular intervention can significantly reduce the risk of major amputation and improve long-term mobility.
Yes. Many aortic aneurysms and dissections can now be treated using advanced endovascular techniques such as EVAR and TEVAR. These procedures are performed through small punctures rather than large incisions, resulting in shorter hospital stays, faster recovery, and lower surgical risks.
