What are the risks associated with procedures performed by vascular interventional radiologists?

Procedures performed by vascular interventional radiologists are generally safe, but they carry some risks. Common risks include:

Infection: Any procedure involving catheter insertion or puncture can lead to infection.

Bleeding: There may be minor or significant bleeding at the insertion site or internally.

Blood Clots: New clots can form as a result of the procedure.

Allergic Reactions: Some patients may react to contrast dyes used in imaging.

Damage to Surrounding Tissues: Rarely, nearby tissues can be affected during catheter placement. Discussing these risks with your vascular interventional radiologist helps in understanding the potential complications and the steps taken to minimize them, ensuring a safe and effective treatment.
