Interventional Radiology: A Physician's Perspective by Nick Yee, MD
Interventional radiology (IR) is a field at the cutting edge of modern medicine, offering minimally invasive procedures that diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions. Read below as Dr. Nick Yee, a leading physician at RIA Endovascular, shares his insights on the transformative power of IR and its impact on patient care.
What is Interventional Radiology?
Interventional radiology combines advanced imaging techniques with precise, minimally invasive treatments. Using tools like ultrasound, CT, and fluoroscopy, we can navigate the body to address issues like vascular disease, uterine fibroids, or even cancer, all without the need for traditional surgery.
Why Patients Choose IR
Patients often prefer IR procedures because of their many benefits:
Less Pain and Scarring: Minimally invasive techniques mean smaller incisions and quicker recovery times.
Outpatient Convenience: Many procedures can be performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home the same day.
Targeted Treatments: IR focuses on the precise area of concern, reducing risks and improving outcomes.
These advantages make a world of difference for patients, especially those who may not be candidates for surgery or are seeking alternatives with shorter recovery periods.

At RIA Endovascular, we’re continually adopting the latest technologies and techniques. Whether it’s treating varicose veins, managing peripheral artery disease, or providing life-changing embolization therapies, our goal is to improve quality of life for our patients.

A Bright Future Ahead
