A rapidly growing medical specialty that offersa huge amount and sometimes spectacular procedures and interventions of of great diagnostic and trestment value.
An Interventional Radiologist is a physician with the skills to:
-Close a bleeding vessel, or a blood vessel that is feeding a tumor or a vascular malformation…….
Nervous tissue can be regenerated with amazing results.
Nervous tissue cells can be regenerated with amazing results
Stem cells obtained from the bone marrow the same patient (there are no ethical problems in this case) are processed and after few hours implanted in the affected brain area through an ultraselective catheterization procedure. These cells have the ability to regenerate the damaged nervous system cells, so that the affected functionality will return. Our wide initial experience is very promising. We have obtained good results mainly in Stroke, Parkinson disease, Brain Hypoxia, Multiple sclerosis, etc
Urgency treatment to avoid its dreadful consequences.
Strokes of Cerebrovascular accidents are a lesion caused by the interruption of blood flow that nourishes with oxygen the brain.
If treated early: in the first 6 hours of onset of the neurological deficit, we can dissolve the coagulum. For this we sail with a microcatheter (very small tube) and infuse thrombolytics (anticoagulants) which will disintegrate the clot, restoring blood flow into the brain.
Osteoporosis causes thousands of fractures per year in diverse body parts, one of the most common places is the back. With a fall or physical strain one or more verterbrae collapse causing vertebral (spinal) fractures.
Verterbroplasty is done injecting acrylic cement inside the vertebra, allowing it to strengthen and transmit weight towards the feet, stabilizing the spinal cord.
Decompresses the intervertebral disc, taking away the pain.
Laser Nucleoplasty has a high exit rate, low recurrence and very few complications.
This procedure is being used in the USA, Europe, Japan, China, India, Korea, Center and South America with more than 50,000 procedures allready done around the World.
The Percutaneous laser disc decompression (PLDD) received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval in 1991. since then, many technical readjustments have been done, making this procedure even more secure and efficient.
