About the department
The Department of Interventional Radiology at the Hospital Gummersbach Oberberg specializes in high-precision imaging tests and image-guided therapeutic procedures. The department's clinicians work hand in hand with doctors from all departments of the Hospital Oberberg Gummersbach: radiologists perform imaging tests (X-ray scans, CT scans, MRI scans, and others) at the request of doctors of various specialties. Treatment procedures under the guidance of CT, MRI, and angiography are an integral part of the department's daily clinical practice as well. Such therapeutic measures often allow the patient to avoid operation, and their effectiveness is comparable to classical surgery. The most demanded procedure is balloon angioplasty with stenting. This procedure allows doctors to successfully eliminate stenoses and obstructions in blood vessels in various locations. Modern interventional methods for the treatment of malignant tumors are also available here. The department is equipped with advanced medical and technical facilities, highly qualified doctors work here, and radiation protection standards are strictly observed. For the convenience of patients, the department is structurally divided into specialized diagnostic and therapeutic rooms with comfortable waiting areas. The Head Physician of the department is Dr. med. Achim Müller.
The department's specialists have extensive experience in performing balloon angioplasty with stenting. This treatment method is indicated for patients with vascular stenosis and obstruction. At the first stage of balloon angioplasty, the department's radiologists perform a small puncture in the femoral or radial artery, through which a long, thin catheter with a special balloon attached to it is advanced to the site of the narrowed blood vessel under imaging guidance. After the placement of the catheter in the desired position, the specialists inflate the balloon, which restores the lumen of the narrowed artery. At the final stage of the therapeutic manipulation, radiologists remove the balloon and implant a stent in its place, which keeps the walls of the blood vessel open, thereby ensuring normal blood flow and preventing recurrent stenosis. Balloon angioplasty is performed in the department under local anesthesia and takes about 30-40 minutes. This is a safe and effective treatment method and is also suitable for patients with comorbidities.
The medical facility regularly performs an embolization procedure. This is a method of treating tumors by blocking the blood vessels that supply them with special microscopic particles (emboli). Embolization is performed using catheter-based techniques through a puncture in the femoral artery under imaging guidance. If clinically indicated, the department's doctors use emboli containing chemotherapy drugs. In this case, the procedure is called chemoembolization. This method not only deprives the tumor of blood, but also delivers a chemotherapy drug to the tumor, greatly increasing the chances of destroying the tumor. Embolization and chemoembolization can be used as independent treatments, before surgery to shrink the size of the tumor, or for palliative purposes in patients with end-stage cancer.
The department's specialists also perform interventional procedures to treat chronic back pain. The doctors make CT-guided targeted injections of painkillers into the problem area, which is the source of pain. This treatment option is considered when conservative treatment fails. The spinal block is performed under local anesthesia, so the patient does not experience any discomfort. An important advantage of this therapeutic procedure is that it can be repeated if necessary.
The department offers the following image-guided interventional procedures:
- Balloon angioplasty with stenting
- Embolization
- Chemoembolization
- CT-guided interventional treatment of chronic back pain
- Other therapeutic procedures
