Every treatment plan is carefully individualised after detailed consultation and imaging review.
Vertebroplasty and Cementoplasty
Vertebroplasty or cementoplasty strengthens weakened or fractured bones by injecting medical cement under imaging guidance. It is commonly used for spinal fractures, pelvic lesions, and cancer-related bone weakness.
Patients treated at Vikash IR Clinic often experience immediate pain relief and improved mobility within hours. For patients who don’t want prolonged bed rest or major orthopaedic surgery, vertebroplasty/cementoplasty offers faster recovery, reduced pain medication use, and early return to daily activities.
Bone Metastasis Ablation – Targeted Cancer Pain Relief
Painful bone metastases can severely affect mobility and quality of life. At Vikash IR Clinic, image-guided tumor ablation destroys cancer tissue precisely using radiofrequency or microwave energy through a fine probe.
This technique provides rapid pain relief and local tumour control while avoiding major surgery or prolonged radiotherapy. It is particularly beneficial for patients unfit for surgery and can be safely combined with other cancer treatments.
Osteoid Osteoma Ablation
Image-guided osteoid osteoma ablation is a precise, minimally invasive treatment used to relieve persistent bone pain caused by osteoid osteoma without open surgery. Using CT or advanced imaging guidance, a fine radiofrequency or microwave probe is placed directly into the tumour and heat energy (radiofrequency or microwave) is applied to destroy the painful nidus while preserving surrounding bone. Patients typically experience rapid pain relief, minimal scarring, and a quick return to normal activities, making this the treatment of choice.
Chemoport Placement and Removal
Chemoports allow repeated chemotherapy infusions without repeated needle pricks, improving comfort and treatment compliance. At Vikash IR Clinic, chemoports are placed using minimally invasive image-guided techniques through a small incision under local anaesthesia, ensuring accurate optimal tip position and long-term function.
IR-guided chemoport insertion offers smaller scars, fewer complications, faster recovery, and better device longevity. Removal after completion of treatment is equally simple and safe.
Tunneled Dialysis Catheter Placement
Tunneled dialysis catheter placement is performed to provide reliable long-term vascular access for patients requiring haemodialysis. Under ultrasound and fluoroscopic guidance, a specialised catheter is inserted into a central vein and tunnelled under the skin to reduce infection risk and improve stability. This minimally invasive procedure ensures safe, immediate dialysis access when arteriovenous fistulas or grafts are not yet available or are temporarily non-functional. Image-guided placement improves accuracy, lowers complication rates, and allows rapid initiation of life-saving renal replacement therapy.
PICC Line Placement (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters)
PICC lines provide safe, long-term venous access for chemotherapy, intravenous antibiotics, nutrition, and frequent blood tests. At Vikash IR Clinic, Dr. Vikash places PICC lines under ultrasound and X-ray guidance, ensuring accurate positioning and long-term reliability.
Compared to blind bedside insertion, image-guided PICC placement significantly reduces pain, bleeding, infection risk, and catheter failure. The procedure is quick, comfortable, and usually completed as a same-day outpatient service.
Pelvic Congestion Syndrome Embolization – Treatment for Chronic Pelvic Pain
Chronic pelvic pain in women is frequently caused by dilated pelvic veins, a condition known as pelvic congestion syndrome. At Vikash IR Clinic, this is treated by embolizing the abnormal veins through a tiny catheter inserted from the groin or neck.
This minimally invasive outpatient procedure provides long-lasting pain relief without hysterectomy, hormonal therapy, or open surgery. Fertility is preserved, recovery is rapid, and most women experience significant improvement in symptoms and quality of life.
Dialysis AV Fistula and Graft Interventions
For patients on haemodialysis, maintaining a healthy AV fistula or graft is essential. Narrowing or clotting of dialysis access can interrupt life-saving treatment.
At Vikash IR Clinic, angioplasty and declotting procedures are performed to restore blood flow quickly—often on the same day—preserving existing access and avoiding repeated surgical revisions. These treatments reduce hospital stays, protect future access sites, and ensure uninterrupted dialysis.
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Treatment – Non-Surgical Limb Salvage
Peripheral artery disease causes leg pain, walking difficulty, non-healing foot ulcers, and risk of limb loss, especially in diabetic patients. At Vikash IR Clinic, blocked leg arteries are treated using balloon angioplasty, stenting, and advanced endovascular techniques without open surgery.
IR-based PAD treatment offers lower risk, minimal blood loss, faster recovery, shorter hospital stays, and excellent limb-salvage outcomes, making it ideal for elderly and high-risk patients.
Nephrostomy & Antegrade Ureteric Stent Insertion
Percutaneous nephrostomy and antegrade ureteric stent insertion are image-guided procedures used to relieve urinary tract obstruction caused by stones, strictures, tumours, or post-surgical narrowing. Under ultrasound and fluoroscopic guidance, a fine catheter is placed directly into the kidney to drain urine and protect renal function, and when required, a stent is advanced across the obstruction to restore normal urine flow into the bladder. These minimally invasive interventions rapidly relieve pain, prevent kidney damage, control infection, and often avoid the need for emergency surgery.
Image-Guided Biopsy/FNAC
Image-guided biopsy/FNAC is a safe and accurate technique used to obtain tissue samples from organs and deep-seated lesions for diagnosis. Using ultrasound, CT, or fluoroscopic guidance, a fine needle or biopsy device is precisely placed into the target area to collect tissue while avoiding surrounding vital structures. This minimally invasive procedure plays a critical role in diagnosing cancers, infections, and inflammatory conditions, guiding treatment planning, and reducing the need for open surgical biopsy, with high diagnostic accuracy and low complication rates.
Vascular Malformations
Interventional Radiology provides advanced minimally invasive treatment for vascular malformations, including arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), venous malformations, and complex vascular anomalies. Using catheter-based techniques and image guidance, abnormal blood vessels are selectively closed using embolization agents such as coils, glue, or sclerosants to control bleeding, relieve pain, reduce swelling, and prevent complications. These procedures offer effective, organ-preserving alternatives to surgery and are often performed in a staged, multidisciplinary approach for safe long-term management of complex vascular disorders.
