• The diagnostic and therapeutic proceduresoffered by interventional radiologist cover awide variety of organ systems requiringknowledge and interaction with many differentsubspecialties.

• Interventional radiology has a therapeuticrather than diagnostic purpose in that itintervenes in, or interferes with, the course of adisease process or other medical condition.
• Every interventional radiologic proceduremust include two integral processes.

• The first is the interventional or medical sideof the procedure, in which the highly skilledradiologist uses needles, catheters, and specialmedical devices (e.g., occluding coils, guidewires) to produce an improvement in thepatient's status or condition.
Dr. Ahmed Alsharef Farah 5

• The second process involves the use offluoroscopy and radiography to guide anddocument the progress of the steps taken duringthe first process.

• The CIT must receive special education in theangiographic and interventional suite.
• This skilled CIT has a very important role inassisting the angiographer in the interventionalprocedures.

• The first angiogram was performed onlymonths after Roentgen's discovery of x-rays.
• Two physicians injected mercury salts into anamputated hand and created an image of thearteries.

• Interventional radiologic procedures began in1930s with angiography.
• In early 1960s Mason Jones pioneeredtransbrachial selective coronary angiography.
• Later in 1960s transfemoral angiography wasdeveloped.

• A catheter is a hollow flexible tube that can beinserted into a body cavity, duct or vessel.
• Catheters thereby allow injection of fluids.• The process of inserting a catheter is
catheterization.
Catheters:
Dr. Ahmed Alsharef Farah 26
![Page 27: Introduction to Interventional Radiology](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050104/626c66117a58224b0d0d2fb5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• Catheters allow the interventional radiologist toaccess a specific area in the body from anotherentry point in the body.
• Angiographic catheters can be divided into flushcatheters and selective catheters.
Dr. Ahmed Alsharef Farah 27
![Page 28: Introduction to Interventional Radiology](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050104/626c66117a58224b0d0d2fb5/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• Flush catheters are typically used for aorticinjections and have multiple side holes near thetip to allow for a rapid high-volume injection toopacify the large diameter vessel.
Dr. Ahmed Alsharef Farah 28
![Page 29: Introduction to Interventional Radiology](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050104/626c66117a58224b0d0d2fb5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• A "pigtail" catheter is a special multiple sidehole catheter that allows higher volumes ofcontrast to be injected.
• Selective catheters contain only a single endhole and have no side holes.
Dr. Ahmed Alsharef Farah 29

• The diameter of the catheter is measured inFrench (Fr) size: 3 Fr is equivalent to 1 mm.
• Most diagnostic catheters are 4 or 5 Fr.
Dr. Ahmed Alsharef Farah 33
![Page 34: Introduction to Interventional Radiology](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050104/626c66117a58224b0d0d2fb5/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Catheters can be classified depending on:• Side holes:
Single Hole.End Hole with side holes.Blocked end with side holes only.

• Sizes:Abdominal: 60 - 80 cmThoracic or Carotid Arteries: 100 - 120 cm.Size depends on:
I. Age of the patient.II. Selective or super selective study.III. Size of the vessels.

• Angioplasty catheters are specialized catheterswith a balloon placed near its leading end toallow for dilation of Stenosis.
• The balloon is inflated through a side port andtypically connected to a pressure gauge.
Angioplasty Catheters:
Dr. Ahmed Alsharef Farah 40
![Page 41: Introduction to Interventional Radiology](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050104/626c66117a58224b0d0d2fb5/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
• The manufacturer will note on the packaging theballoon diameter, length, nominal pressure, andburst pressure.
• The nominal pressure is the pressure needed toachieve the stated diameter.
• The burst pressure is a recommendation by themanufacturer of the maximal inflation pressurebefore balloon rupture might occur.
Dr. Ahmed Alsharef Farah 41
![Page 42: Introduction to Interventional Radiology](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050104/626c66117a58224b0d0d2fb5/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

• Guidewires are metallic or plastic wires thatserve two general roles: exchange and guidancewithin a vessel or lumen.
• Not only can the guidewire be used during theexchange of the access needle to a catheter, butit can be used to exchange different catheters.
Guide Wires:

• Stents are metallic cylindrical devices that areplaced within a vessel or other lumen to providea scaffolding to decrease the likelihood ofrecurrent Stenosis.
• Stents can be made of bare metal or can becovered with a fabric (Covered stent or stentgraft).
Stents:
Dr. Ahmed Alsharef Farah 45
![Page 46: Introduction to Interventional Radiology](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050104/626c66117a58224b0d0d2fb5/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
• A balloon-expandable stent is mounted on anangioplasty catheter.
• When that stent is positioned in the properlocation, the balloon is inflated, expanding thestent.
Dr. Ahmed Alsharef Farah 46
![Page 47: Introduction to Interventional Radiology](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050104/626c66117a58224b0d0d2fb5/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
• Alternatively, self-expandable stents can beused. This stent is housed between two layers ofthin catheters. The stent is deployed byunsheathing the outer layer. The metal in a self-expandable stent prevent it from collapsing.
• Balloon-expandable stents are used whenprecise positioning is needed, such as at theorigin of a renal artery.
Dr. Ahmed Alsharef Farah 47
![Page 48: Introduction to Interventional Radiology](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050104/626c66117a58224b0d0d2fb5/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
• However, balloon-expandable stents are notstayed expanded and not used in parts of thebody where extrinsic compression could occur(i.e., neck and extremities).

• Curled metallic wires with or without embeddedfibers called embolization coils are delivered bypushing the coil through a catheter with aguidewire.
