Vascular and interventional radiology is a cutting-edge medical specialty that encompasses image-guided minimally invasive procedures which minimize hospital stays and patient recovery time. It is a leading and innovative partner in the minimally invasive procedural trend of medicine and surgery. Vascular and interventional radiologists focus on diseases of the blood vessels and lymphatic system, but also treat other conditions, such as cancer and infertility. They perform minimally invasive treatments that have less risk, pain, and recovery time compared to open surgery.
