At Kern Medical, our expert interventional radiology team blends advanced
imaging technology with minimally invasive techniques to diagnose and
treat a wide range of medical conditions. Using real-time image guidance,
we offer targeted treatments that often require little to no recovery
time. Common procedures include:
Angiography and Angioplasty Imaging and treatment to identify and open narrowed or blocked blood vessels.
Embolization Procedures to control bleeding or block blood flow to tumors, such as uterine
fibroid embolization or treatment of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs).
Drainage Procedures Image-guided placement of tubes to drain abscesses, fluid collections,
or obstructions in the bile or urinary systems.
Image-Guided Biopsies Minimally invasive tissue sampling from organs such as the liver, lungs,
or kidneys for diagnostic purposes.
Tumor Ablation Destruction of tumors using heat (radiofrequency or microwave ablation)
or cold (cryoablation) as a nonsurgical alternative.
Central Line and Port Placement Insertion of long-term intravenous access for chemotherapy, dialysis, or
other treatments.
IVC Filter Placement and Removal Placement or removal of filters in the inferior vena cava to prevent blood
clots from reaching the lungs.
