Highlights

1. Stroke Treatment

The Mukundapur unit of AMRI provides the most advanced, 24x7 facilities for stroke management. It comprises of the best stroke neurologists, neuro-surgeons, and rehab team who ensure that the treatment that patients receive is of the highest order. The digital Cath Lab enables the carrying out of highly advanced treatment procedures like IV thrombolysis and Thrombectomy. Apart from this, a lot of emphasis is also laid on stroke prevention, where high risk groups are advised to act in advance.  

2. Diagnostic Angiography and DSA

The highly experienced and skilful medical team at AMRI carry out a wide range of advanced angiography services without any complications. The various services include:

  • Cerebral Angiography
  • Spinal Angiography
  • Mesenteric Angiography
  • Pulmonary Angiography
  • Visceral Angiography
  • Peripheral Angiography

3. Embolization for Haemorrhage or Bleeding

Being a renowned diagnostic radiology centre, AMRI provides some of the best treatment in cases of haemorrhage and bleeding. Bleeding from different organs can be fatal occurrences and can lead to severe complications. Often lifesaving treatment is required especially if the bleeding is of arterial origin like hemoptysis, GI bleeds, retroperitoneal bleeds, massive epistaxis, traumatic haemorrhages, uterine bleeding among others. During such emergencies, highly experienced interventional radiologists and a well-equipped Cath lab at AMRI comes to the aid of the suffering patients. They stop the bleeding with various embolization procedures.

Embolization for vascular malformations like Arterio-venous malformations of any organ system like cerebral, pulmonary, visceral, spinal or gastrointestinal tract is also treated here with great efficiency.Similarly, partial splenic artery embolization for hypersplenism, embolization to treat priapism in extreme cases, embolization for varicocoeles, percutaneous embolization for superficial vascular malformations including sclerotherapy is alsodone.

A combination of the best interventional radiologists, trained staff, and the availability of the latest equipment is what makes AMRI one of the best centres for Radiology diagnostics. In addition to stroke treatment and DSA, AMRI provides treatment for the following.

4. PTBD and BILIARY STENTING

There are numerous instances where regular ERCP is not possible like in cases of obstructive jaundice, Cholangitis, post-operative patients, etc. In such cases interventional radiology is highly effective. IR usually under USG guidance, punctures one of the suitable biliary radicle transhepatically and then either place a catheter to drain the bile outside (PTBD) or if possible place a stent across the stricture for internal drainage.Even treatment of benign strictures and biliary clearing procedures can be done by extension of PTBD. Similarly, PCN and antegrade ureteric stenting are also possible when other measures fail.

5. Liver Cancers

Whether it’s for treatment or palliation, interventional radiology is highly effective especially in cases such as Carcinoma in Liver which is not operable. Trans arterial Chemo embolization (TACE), a well-establishedtherapy for HCC, colonic metastasis and neuroendocrine tumours and chemo infusion are regularly done here. We offer TACE in both conventional as well as drug eluting beads. Portal vein embolization in suitable patients is also offered after volumetric evaluation.

6. Uterine Artery Embolization

This procedure is required for fibroid disease of uterus and post-partum haemorrhage which is done under local anaesthesia where a catheter selectively inserted into uterine artery and blocked using PVA particles. This helps avoiding not only hysterectomy but also its immediate and delayed complications like ureteric ligation, VVF, urinary incontinence, adhesion, intestinal obstruction, hernia etc. In this procedure recovery period is shorter and in some patients’ future pregnancies also reported.

7. Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

RFA of solid tumours’ of different organs is now a most advanced and established method of treatment with durable long term results of tumour size 3-5cm specially of liver, kidney, pancreas, lung etc. OsteoidOsteoma of bone no longer requires any surgery and CT guided RFA is the treatment for it.

AMRI also provides RFA of varicose veins which is an outstanding edge over LASER treatment with proven lesser recurrences along with sutureless surgery for stripping and sclerotherapy as complete treatment in a single sitting for symptomatic patients.

Diagnostic Radiology Centre

Today, patients across the globe feel the need of being treated in a minimally invasive way. Over the last few decades, interventional radiology – a subspecialty of diagnostic radiology, has made rapid strides of development. Interventional radiology can be further classified into other subspecialties like neuro, vascular, GI, among others. AMRI hospitals focuses on providing the best radiology facilities possible across all its units to ensure the best possible outcome for the patients.

The Dhakuria unit is an advanced diagnostic radiology centre, comprising of a highly proficient team of doctors and unique imaging facilities like 1.5 Tesla MRI, high end CT scan, Digital Cath lab, and Modular OT among others. AMRI provides a wide array of interventional radiology services on a 24x7 basis.

Other Procedures

For long-termdialysis access, placement of PERM catheters is offered with fistuloplastyfor A-V fistula. Similarly, Chronic Total Occlusion of central venous system & SVC obstruction can be opened up by angioplasty and stenting.IVC and hepatic vein stenting for Budd- Chiarri syndrome is also done.A wide range of highly effective procedures for PAIN MANAGEMENT of CT guided blocks is also performed at AMRI - like EPIDURAL injections, FACET blocks and foraminal blocks.FNAC’s, biopsies and catheter drainages are certainly within the purview of the Interventional radiologists at AMRITIPS (Transjugular, Intrahepatic, Portosystemic Shunt) and AAA (Abdominal aortic aneurysm) repair are mostly done by well-trained IRs.
