Study notes
Bleeding fibroid — uterine artery embolization; bleeding stops. Interventional radiology: vascular (angioplasty — balloon — stent — PAD, coronary; embolization — bleeding — trauma, fibroids — UFE; TIPS — portal hypertension; IVC filter — PE), non-vascular (drainage — abscess — pigtail; biliary — PTBD; nephrostomy — obstruction; biopsy — CT/USG — lung, liver; ablation — RFA — tumors; vertebroplasty — fracture). Minimally invasive — small puncture — big results.
