Minimally Invasive, Maximally Effective
While this device might not look like much, it has revolutionized Minimally Invasive Radiology. The blue pointy tip (and the white portion that's behind it) is slid into an artery in the wrist or groin. Through this plastic tube, virtually any artery in the body can be accessed with fine catheters and wires.
X-ray die is injected through a catheter into the blood vessels. One of these black squiggly lines represents the blood vessel going to the target. Specialized training allows the physician performing the procedure to understand the anatomy and process by which to select and shut down the target artery, treating a host of different conditions.
Small wires and catheters are used to select the target artery.
Stopping the Flow
Tiny particles, barely big enough to see with the naked eye, are injected inside the blood vessel feeding an organ in the body. The flow of blood is stopped and the organ begins to shrink.
