Palliative Care
Palliative care at Main Line Health is a service offered to seriously ill hospitalized patients. At the request of the patient's physician, the palliative care team recommends pain and symptom management.
Interventional radiology is an area of medicine that combines diagnostic imaging with minimally invasive procedures. Interventional radiologists are involved in the treatment of the patient, as well as the diagnosis of disease. Imaging technology is used to target, guide and monitor treatments of conditions inside the body from the outside. At Main Line Health we offer interventional radiology services at locations throughout the Philadelphia suburbs.
Interventional radiology uses a variety of imaging techniques — including X-rays, fluoroscopy, CT, MRI and ultrasound — to insert small instruments and tools through small incisions in the skin to target sites deep within the body. These can include needles, catheters, wires or stents that can be used to perform biopsies, drain fluids, deliver medication or opening up narrowed ducts and vessels throughout the body.
These procedures are often performed under local anesthesia with intravenous (IV) sedation and typically do not require general anesthesia, to complex surgical treatment and in many cases eliminating the need for hospitalization.
Most Interventional radiology procedures are performed on an outpatient basis. Typical interventional procedures include:
