About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Interventional Radiology, Neuroradiology at the Municipal Hospital Karlsruhe provides the full range of imaging diagnostics and image-guided minimally invasive treatment. The medical facility admits patients of all age groups, including children and adolescents. In the field of interventional radiology, special attention is paid to the treatment of vascular diseases and cancers, and pain management for chronic pain. An integral part of the department's clinical practice is the interventional treatment of neurological disorders, including stroke, carotid stenosis, and cerebral aneurysms. Medical care is provided both on an inpatient and outpatient basis. The department is one of the largest medical facilities of this kind in Germany and has been awarded a prestigious certificate from the German Society for Interventional Radiology and Minimally Invasive Therapy (DeGIR). The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Peter Reimer.
The department is proud of its advanced equipment: 5 devices for computed tomography (CT), 4 devices for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), 3 devices for angiography, 2 mammography systems, 5 X-ray systems, 3 ultrasound devices and 1 device for digital volume tomography. The department also cooperates closely with the Department of Nuclear Medicine, thanks to which patients have the opportunity to undergo PET/CT and SPECT/CT scans. The results of the performed examinations are recorded and stored using a modern picture archiving and communication system. The department also participates in the telemedicine project, in cooperation with the University Hospitals of Mannheim and Heidelberg. In addition, this equipment is used for imaging-guided interventional diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The department's doctors take a responsible approach to compliance with radiation protection standards, so all examinations and treatment are absolutely safe.
The department performs many imaging-guided interventional therapeutic procedures. These procedures are an excellent alternative to open surgery, as only a skin puncture is needed for access, without any incisions or sutures. In addition, interventions are performed using local anesthesia. Therefore, this type of treatment significantly reduces the risks to the patient's health and contributes to the shortest possible hospital stay.
The most common scope of interventional treatment is catheter-based procedures for vascular pathologies: stenosis and occlusion of the blood vessels of the pelvis and lower limbs, arteries of the kidneys, bowel, lungs, aorta, deep vein thrombosis and other diseases. The department's doctors also successfully perform embolization (local injection of emboli to occlude blood vessels) for the treatment of uterine fibroids, benign prostatic hyperplasia, varicocele, internal bleeding, and hemorrhoids. Transarterial embolization and transarterial chemoembolization are successfully used for cancer treatment. The essence of these procedures is to block the blood vessels supplying the tumor, due to which the tumor is deprived of nutrition and thereby is destroyed. Selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) is also available in the department and involves the introduction of radiation sources in close proximity to the tumor, due to which the tumor is destroyed, and healthy adjacent tissues are practically not affected. This type of therapy is most often used for liver tumor and metastasis treatment.
The department's physicians often resort to image-guided interventional procedures to drain abscesses, ascites, form dialysis access, and place port systems. The specialists also use interventional manipulations to treat chronic pain syndromes, for example, facet joint block can effectively eliminate back pain without resorting to surgical interventions.
Neuroradiology is responsible for the interventional treatment of neurological disorders. Doctors most often deal with strokes, carotid stenosis, cerebral aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and dural fistulas. Despite the achievements of modern medicine and the availability of innovative navigation systems, catheter-based treatment of neurological pathologies remains safer, since the risk of damage to vital brain structures is negligible. In addition, patients recover much quicker after interventional treatment.
