Department of Interventional Radiology and Neuroradiology
Specialized in: interventional radiology and neuroradiology About the Department of Interventional Radiology and Neuroradiology at Alfried Krupp Hospital in Essen-Ruettenscheid
The Department of Interventional Radiology and Neuroradiology at the Alfried Krupp Hospital in Essen-Ruettenscheid offers the very latest technical resources for imaging diagnostics of the whole human body and effective image-guided interventional therapies. The department's medical team effectively cooperates with doctors of all medical fields of the hospital, since such important diagnostic tests as classical x-ray, mammography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, angiography, myelography, ultrasound- and CT-guided biopsy and others are performed here. The department's medical team is proud of its rich and successful experience in interventional treatment of arteriovenous malformations, cerebral aneurysms, vascular stenosis, chronic back pain, pulmonary vascular diseases, congenital vascular malformations (for example, Osler's disease). The department's doctors are among the best in the field of their expertise throughout Germany, so patients receive top-class medical care corresponding to European standards. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. René Chapot.
In the field of interventional radiology, the focus is on bronchial artery embolization, embolization of large branches of the aorta and pelvic arteries, endovascular procedures for atrioventricular malformations, and interventional procedures for endoleaks after aortic stent implantation. The specialists in the field of interventional radiology also perform hepatic artery chemoembolization – an innovative therapeutic method for the treatment of primary and metastatic liver cancer, as well as some malignant tumors of other localization. The therapeutic effect is achieved through the introduction of embolizing substances and chemotherapy drugs through a catheter directly into the artery that supplies the tumor. Thus, doctors can inject a large dose of chemotherapy drug into the tumor focus, which is impossible with classical systemic chemotherapy, while the embolizing agent blocks the blood supply to the tumor. The technique is applied locally and excludes harmful effects of chemotherapy drugs on healthy tissue. Chemoembolization is performed through a small puncture of the radial or femoral artery. The procedure is often prescribed to patients with absolute contraindications to surgical treatment and takes about 1,5-2 hours. Hepatic artery chemoembolization demonstrates high efficiency, practically does not cause complications and is well tolerated by patients.
The department's interventional neuroradiologists perform image-guided therapeutic interventions on the vessels of the brain and spinal cord. The therapeutic offer includes endovascular treatment of arteriovenous malformations of the brain and spinal cord, cerebral aneurysms, endovascular procedures for the correction of congenital vascular malformations and other procedures. Doctors in this medical field help patients to get rid of chronic back pain once and for all if painkillers do not give the desired result. The medical facility also performs vertebroplasty for the treatment of osteoporotic and compression vertebral fractures with the introduction of special bone cement. Vertebroplasty is a modern alternative to surgery.
