Minimally invasive – Radiology X Therapy.
Introduction:
Minimally invasive procedures performed by interventional radiologists are a good alternative to major surgery in many cases. Shorter hospital stays, a quick recovery time and a low complication rate characterize these therapies.
It is my concern to work with patients in a detailed consultation to find the optimal treatment for their conditions.
I also offer ultrasound examinations and second opinions on imaging examinations in the surgery

The respective procedures are performed at the Department of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine of the Hospital of the Brothers of Mercy Vienna.
- Embolization therapies
o Myoma embolization (UFE - Uterine Fibroid Embolization)
o Prostate embolization (PAE) for symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate gland
o Embolization for Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS - symptoms caused by varicose veins in the female pelvis)
o Therapy (embolization and/or sclerotherapy) for varicoceles (varicose veins in the testicles)
- Tumor therapies
o Cryoablation of renal tumors (obliteration of renal tumors by application of cold)
o Microwave ablation or radiofrequency ablation of liver tumors (sclerotherapy of tumors by application of heat)
o Chemoembolization (TACE) and radioembolization (SIRT) of liver tumors and metastases
o CT- or ultrasound-targeted material or sample removal from tumors, lymph nodes or inflammations
- Therapy for vascular problems
o Balloon dilatation and/or stent implantation for arterial constrictions or occlusions
o Shop-window disease (pAVK, Claudication intermittens - constriction or occlusion of the pelvic or leg vessels)
o Carotid stenosis (narrowing of the carotid artery)
o Mesenteric stenoses (narrowing of abdominal arteries)
o Renal artery stenoses (narrowing of renal vessels)
o Subclavian or brachial artery stenoses (narrowing of arm arteries)
o Balloon tightening and/or stent implantation for venous stenosis or occlusion
o Acute and chronic pelvic vein thrombosis
o Postthrombotic syndrome
o Influx congestion from the neck or arm veins ("upper influx congestion")
- Therapy for vertebral body fractures
o CT-targeted vertebroplasty
- Pain therapy
o Chemonucleolysis (ozone nucleolysis) for herniated discs
o Periganglionic infiltrations ("root infiltrations") in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine
o CT-targeted joint infiltrations along the entire spine
o Sympathetic blockade
o celiac plexus blockade
o Neurothermia along the spine
o Pudendal nerve blockade
- Other interventions
o Implantation and removal of caval screens (vein filters)
o Reopening of bile duct obstructions and strictures (PTCD)
o Minimally invasive endovascular therapy for aortic aneurysms (stent graft implantation)
o Stroke therapy (cerebral thrombectomy) in acute cases.
