Interventional radiology (IR) is a radiological subspecialty that includes minimally invasive procedures performed under the control of various imaging methods.
As technology advances, and high-quality equipment is increasingly available, interventional radiology is able to offer patients an increasing number of new treatment options, guided by diascopy, USG or CT.
Today, many conditions that once required surgical treatment can be treated by interventional radiologists. Such procedures enable lower risk, less pain and faster recovery compared to open surgery.
Interventional radiologists are subspecialists for minimally invasive, targeted procedures performed under the control of various imaging methods.
They have the deepest knowledge about the least invasive procedures, connected with diagnostic and clinical experiences of all specialties and are experts in the field of radiation protection. Using diascopy, MR, and other imaging methods to place a catheter in the patient's body (most often an artery), interventional radiologists are able to treat the cause of the disease non-surgically.
As the inventors of angioplasty and catheter-based stenting, which were first used to treat peripheral arterial disease, interventional radiologists su začetnici minimalno invazivne moderne medicine.
The unique combination of skills of interventional radiologists encourages innovation and enables rapid adaptation of their knowledge of imaging methods for the initiation of non-surgical treatment procedures, performed under the control of various imaging methods. Interventional radiologists adapt techniques of proven effectiveness, and adapt them to solve new challenges.
Patient safety is included in the very development of the mentioned therapeutic procedures, because the specialization in radiology as well as the subspecialization in interventional radiology includes training in the field of radiation protection, radiation physics, biological effects of radiation and prevention of radiation injuries.
The Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) publishes guidelines for invasive procedures, including criteria for appropriate training for specific interventional procedures, as well as expected success and complication rates. These proven guidelines are used by the FDA, hospitals, and watchdog groups.
EuroIntervention Journal - EIJ - now in its third year of publication, is a peer-reviewed journal on interventional cardiovascular medicine that has become one of the benchmarks in its field.
EIJ has a distinguished European and international editorial board chaired by Professor Patrick W. Serruys from ERASMUS MC, Rotterdam, Netherlands.
EuroIntervention is the official publication of EuroPCR and the European Association for Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions (EAPCI), published 5 times a year, in paper and electronic form, and supported by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).
Although the basis of EIJ is clearly European, the perspective is international, focused on the top future of the specialty. EuroIntervention is one of the few journals that is entirely dedicated to this work and as such welcomes and encourages the participation of surgeons and peripheral interventionists.
First reports on blinded trial data, technical innovation studies and practical practical articles have been published in EuroIntervention.
With a new and strengthened electronic presence at www.eurointervention.org, the online edition of EuroIntervention includes access to previously published articles, has a wide selection of pre-print materials, case reports that appear exclusively online, as well as video and moving images that enhance the articles in print. magazine.
Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology publishes peer-reviewed original research including laboratory and clinical trials, technical notes, case reports, briefs and letters to the editor, as well as review articles, opinions, editorials and special invited contributions in the field of Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology .
This is the official journal of the European Society of Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology, the Japanese Society of Angiography and Interventional Radiology and the British Society of Interventional Radiology.
As the official journal of the Society of Interventional Radiology, this peer-reviewed journal is the preferred choice of radiologists, cardiologists, vascular surgeons, neurosurgeons, and other clinicians who need current and reliable information on every aspect of vascular and interventional radiology.
Each issue of JVIR covers the most critical medical, minimally invasive, radiological, pathological, and socioeconomic issues of importance to vascular and interventional radiologists.
The Journal of Endovascular Therapy (formerly the Journal of Endovascular Surgery), the official publication of the INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF ENDOVASCULAR SPECIALISTS (ISES), was founded in 1994 as a forum for all physicians, scientists and allied health professionals involved or interested in peripheral endovascular techniques and technology.
The journal seeks to support vascular professionals of all disciplines, improve patient care, and promote research and development by publishing peer-reviewed clinical and experimental studies and other materials related to the field of peripheral endovascular interventions. The journal will contain original contributions, reviews, case reports and technical notes on clinical or laboratory trials of peripheral endoluminal therapies and research related to new endovascular technologies and techniques.
According to the editor's decision, the Journal publishes editorials and letters and will mark particularly timely or evolutionary articles as Rapid Communications or Works in Progress.
