Guidelines and Statements
High-quality outcomes and patient safety
A framework of evidence-based clinical practice documents to ensure patient safety and enhance the delivery of patient care.
Methodology
The methodology for Guidelines and Statements helps create impactful documents that highlight the quality of evidence used to derive recommendations.
Embolization
Embolization may be used to treat fibroids, pelvic veins, enlarged prostate, varicoceles and other conditions. It usually refers to a procedure in which medical materials or devices are placed into a blood vessel to temporarily or permanently stop bleeding.

Men's Health
Interventional radiologists may treat an enlarged prostate, and alleviate its worrisome symptoms, by blocking blood flow to the prostate (causing it to shrink), using a technique called embolization. They also use the same technique to reduce the swelling and pain associated with enlarged veins in the scrotum called varicoceles.

Pediatric
Pediatric interventional radiologists (PIRs) are specially trained to deliver minimally invasive care to infants, children and teenagers. The treatments they deliver carry less risk, less pain and less recovery time than traditional surgery.
Peripheral Arterial
PAD happens when arteries in the legs narrow, reducing or cutting off blood flow, and is a leading cause of non-trauma related amputations when not diagnosed and treated early.

Stenting
Stenting is the placement of a woven tube covered by a metal mesh at the site of weakness to reinforce the arterial wall. Device placement is done with the help of a catheter which is inserted through the groin under real-time X-ray. Stent grafts are metallic stents covered by graft material and often used to treat an enlarged aorta in an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
Thrombolysis
Thrombolysis treats vascular blockages and improves blood flow by dissolving abnormal blood clots. A blood clot, or thrombus, can block off blood supply to certain parts of the body and cause serious damage. During catheter-directed thrombolysis, the physician uses X-ray imaging and a catheter to guide special medication or a medical device to the site of a blood clot to dissolve the blockage, to remove it and to prevent the vein or artery from becoming permanently blocked and restricting blood flow to a limb or organ.
