Bile Duct Drainage, PTK, Stent Applications

Generally, the patient group consists of obstructive jaundice due to tumors. In percutaneous biliary drainage, the biliary tract is reached by entering the skin with a needle, and bile drainage is provided by placing a tube in the biliary tract. For permanent drainage, the plastic tube with the outside end can be removed and a metal stent can be placed inside.

Percutaneous Cholecystostomy

It is a temporary surgical procedure performed by opening the gallbladder to the body surface at the level of the right upper quadrant in the treatment of cholecystitis. Indication; It is applied to reduce possible complications of other surgical methods, to relieve the patient, and to reduce postoperative mortality and morbidity in people with severe cholecystitis and serious comorbid diseases. It is performed with local anesthesia in order to create elective conditions especially for performing cholecystectomy. Cholecystectomy can be performed when the general condition of the patient improves or becomes suitable for surgery.

Tumor Ablations

The process of destroying the mass by directly entering the cancer tissue with needles (without surgery) with imaging, we call this ablation therapy. Ablation can be done with the microwave method (microwave ablation).

 VASCULAR DISEASES AND TREATMENT

Stenosis in the neck artery can cause clots in the brain and paralysis. If the narrowing is mild, that is, if there is less than 50% narrowing in the vessel, the risk is low and drug treatment is sufficient. If the narrowing of the neck artery is more than 50%, the probability of clotting to the brain is higher and the stenosis usually needs to be corrected or removed. These problems can be solved in interventional radiology. Balloons and medicated balloons and Stents and medicated stents can be placed.

Myoma is a benign tumor that develops in the uterus. While the entire uterus is surgically removed and treated in advanced ages, uterine fibroids can be treated both surgically and non-operatively by embolization in the younger age group. In this technique, this vessel is blocked by entering through the artery feeding the fibroid. Myoma begins to shrink because it cannot get enough nutrition. There is no problem in uterine nutrition.

Varicose veins and modern treatment methods:

Varicose veins is an extremely common vein disease. It is more common in women.

Vein Occlusion (Deep Vein Thrombosis or DVT) and its treatment:

  Early stage (acute) deep vein thrombosis: In the early stage, the clot is fresh. There is foot swelling due to occlusion of the vein and is evident. In one out of three patients, the clot in the leg can go to the lungs. This poses a life-threatening risk. In the treatment, blood thinners are used, but these drugs do not clear the clot, they can only prevent new clots from forming and throwing the clot into the lungs. The only treatment that can clear the clot is intravenous therapy in the angiography room. If the clot has reached the inguinal region, intravascular angiography becomes necessary. Treatment should be done as early as possible. Because the perfect treatment with the intravenous method is only possible when the clot is fresh.
