Interventional Radiology Hospital in Andheri East, Mumbai

CritiCare Asia Hospitals, Andheri East, is an interventional radiology hospital in Mumbai offering image-guided treatment for conditions that would otherwise need open surgery. Ultrasound, CT, and X-ray guide fine catheters and instruments through the body from a small entry point. The procedure stays short on invasiveness and, in many cases, on hospital time too. The Department of Interventional Radiology provides interventional radiology in Andheri East, Mumbai for vascular, cancer-related and organ-specific conditions.

Working through a tiny incision usually means less pain, a shorter stay and a faster return to routine. Treatment that once involved admission and weeks of recovery can often be completed on a short-stay basis.

Conditions We Treat

The following are among the conditions handled through interventional radiology treatment in Andheri East.

  • Peripheral Artery Disease and Vascular Blockages
    Angioplasty and stenting reopen narrowed or blocked arteries in the limbs.

  • Liver, Kidney and Other Tumours
    Inoperable tumours are treated by cutting off their blood supply or delivering therapy straight to the site.

  • Blood Clots (DVT and Related Conditions)
    Clot-dissolving procedures restore flow and reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis complications.

  • Uterine Fibroids and Postpartum Haemorrhage
    Blocking a fibroid's blood supply can avoid removal of the uterus in many cases, and the same method stops bleeding after childbirth.

  • Bile Duct and Urinary Tract Obstructions
    Blockages raise pressure fast and often bring infection. Imaging-guided catheter drainage relieves them without open surgery.

  • Abscesses and Fluid Collections
    Deep infected pockets can usually be drained through a needle under imaging, not an operation.

  • Varicose Veins
    Problem veins are closed from the inside, easing both the discomfort and the appearance.

  • Pericardial Effusion and Cardiac Tamponade
    Fluid around the heart can compress it quickly. Draining it under imaging relieves that pressure.

  • Pulmonary Embolism Risk
    Where blood thinners cannot be used safely, an IVC filter stops clots reaching the lungs.

  • Haemoptysis (Coughing Up Blood)
    Lung conditions such as bronchiectasis or tuberculosis can cause bleeding. Blocking the responsible vessel controls it.

  • Suspicious Lung Nodules
    A CT or fluoroscopy-guided needle biopsy reaches a diagnosis with minimal disruption.

  • Pleural Effusion, Empyema and Pneumothorax
    A catheter placed under imaging drains fluid, infection or air around the lungs and eases breathing.

Meet Our Specialists

The interventional radiologists in Andheri East work with surgeons, oncologists and physicians to decide when a minimally invasive approach can safely replace open surgery. Each case is reviewed individually, and the same real-time imaging guides the procedure, whether it involves an artery, a tumour or an infected collection. Pre-procedure evaluation is planned so tests, imaging review and consent do not stretch across repeated visits. Patients are monitored closely afterwards.
