Angiography (Interventional and Vascular Radiology)

The Angiography Unit of the Tel Aviv Medical Center, part of the Radiology Department, performs procedures using intravascular and percutaneous catheters to diagnose and treat problems with the blood vessels, gall bladder and urinary system.

Treatments include opening occluded arteries in the extremities, kidneys, neck, and the carotid arteries that supply blood to the brain.

Angiographic occlusion of blood vessels (embolization) is performed with the purpose to block hemorrhages, to treat highly vascular tumors of benign (uterine fibroide) and malignant nature.

Percutaneous procedures designed to relief obstructions of the kidneys (hydronephrosis) and liver (biliary) are routinely performed.
