II. Defintions
- Imaging-Guided minimally invasive procedures
III. Procedures: Venous
- Central Venous Access (venous catheters and subcutaneous ports)
- Fluoroscopy or Ultrasound guided
-
Varicose Veins
- Endovenous laser or radiofrequency ablation are effective alternatives to surgical intervention
-
Deep Vein Thrombosis
- Catheter-directed Thrombolysis may be considered in severe, extensive DVT
- Unclear if prevents significant Post-Thrombotic Syndrome
- Catheter-directed Thrombolysis may be considered in severe, extensive DVT
-
Pulmonary Embolism
- Catheter-directed Thrombolysis in Massive Pulmonary Embolism
-
Venous Thromboembolism with Anticoagulation contraindicated or refractory
- Endovascular IVC Filter placement (removed as soon as able)
IV. Procedures: Arterial
-
Claudication (Peripheral Arterial Disease)
- Surgical revascularization is preferred in medication-refractory Peripheral Arterial Disease
- Angioplasty may be indicated in medication-refractory disease with limited Life Expectancy
-
Acute Limb Ischemia
- Percutaneous Thrombolysis is an effective alternative to surgical thrombectomy
-
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
- Endovascular aortic repair (fluoroscopy guided fabric and wire stent graft placement)
- Acute Hemorrhage
- Transarterial embolization indications
- Severe Postpartum Hemorrhage
- Pelvic Fracture
- Lower Gastrointestinal Bleeding
- Hemoptysis
- Post-surgical Hemorrhage (e.g. orthopedic surgery, abdominal surgery)
- Splenic Rupture
- Liver Laceration
- Transarterial embolization indications
V. Procedures: Genitourinary
-
Uterine Fibroids with Menorrhagia
- Uterine Fibroid embolization
- Scrotal Varicoceles with Orchialgia or Infertility
- Gonadal vein embolization
VI. Procedures: Diagnostic
- Abnormal fluid collection (e.g. abscess >3 cm, Pleural Effusion, Ascites)
- Image-Guided Percutaneous Drainage
-
Lymph-Node, Salivary Gland or Thyroid Masses
- Ultrasound-Guided biopsy
- Deep Head and Neck Masses
- CT-Guided biopsy
- Solid organ Masses (e.g. Liver, Spleen, Kidney)
- CT or Ultrasound guided biopsy
VII. Procedures: Oncology
- Cancer treatment modalities
- Embolization (liver, renal cell, Bone Tumors)
