FAQs

Q: What is interventional radiology and which conditions can be treated without traditional surgery?
Interventional radiology uses imaging like X-rays or CT to guide catheters into the body for treatment. We treat vascular blockages, liver tumors, uterine fibroids, and biliary obstructions without large cuts. It effectively replaces major surgery for many vascular and organ diseases.
Q: What is tumour embolization and when is it used as an alternative to surgical removal?
Tumor embolization involves injecting tiny particles to block the blood supply to a growth, starving it. It is used when a tumor is inoperable or to shrink it before surgery. This is a vital alternative for liver or kidney tumors where open surgery is too risky.
Q: What is uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) and how effective is it compared to a hysterectomy?
UFE blocks the blood flow to fibroids through a pinhole in the skin, causing them to shrink. It is highly effective and preserves the uterus, unlike a hysterectomy. Recovery is much faster, allowing patients to return to normal life within a week.
Q: What is vertebroplasty and which patients with spinal fractures benefit from this procedure?
Vertebroplasty involves injecting medical-grade cement into a fractured vertebra to stabilize it. It is ideal for patients with painful compression fractures due to osteoporosis or cancer. This procedure provides immediate pain relief and restores the patient's ability to walk.
Q: Can vascular blockages in the legs or kidneys be treated through interventional radiology?
Yes, we use angioplasty and stenting to open narrowed arteries in the legs or kidneys. By inflating a small balloon and placing a mesh stent, we restore blood flow. This prevents limb loss and treats high blood pressure caused by kidney artery blockages.
Q: What hepatobiliary and oncological interventional radiology procedures does Dr. Arpit Taunk perform at Apollo Hospitals Lucknow?
He performs TACE for liver cancer, biliary stenting for jaundice, and radiofrequency ablation of tumors. His practice also includes PTBD for bile duct obstructions and TIPS for portal hypertension. These procedures target the disease directly while sparing healthy surrounding tissue.
Q: Does Dr. Arpit Taunk place PICC lines and chemotherapy ports for cancer patients undergoing long-term treatment?
Yes, he specializes in the image-guided placement of PICC lines and chemoports. These devices provide safe, long-term access for chemotherapy and blood draws. Using ultrasound guidance ensures the placement is precise and reduces the risk of vein damage or infection.
Q: What emergency vascular conditions can be managed by Dr. Arpit Taunk's interventional radiology team?
The team manages life-threatening emergencies like massive internal bleeding, acute strokes, and deep vein thrombosis. We use embolization to stop bleeding instantly and mechanical thrombectomy to pull clots out of the brain or lungs. These rapid interventions are critical for survival.
Q: How does interventional radiology reduce recovery time compared to conventional surgery?
IR uses tiny punctures instead of large incisions, so there are no major wounds to heal. There is minimal blood loss and much less pain. Most patients are discharged within 24 hours and return to full activity much faster than after traditional open surgery.
Q: What interventional radiology procedures does Dr. Arpit Taunk perform?
Dr. Taunk performs a full range of procedures including varicose vein ablation, bronchial artery embolization, and dialysis access salvage. He also handles complex neuro-interventions like aneurysm coiling and various biopsies or drainages guided by CT or ultrasound.
