Interventional Radiology

Procedures

Every procedure below is performed through a needle or a catheter under live imaging — no open surgery, local anaesthetic with sedation, and recovery measured in days rather than weeks. Select one for who it suits, how it is done and what recovery looks like.

Private consultations and procedures are at Andalusia Hospitals, Maadi. Kasr Al-Ainy is Dr. El Ghobashy's academic post at Cairo University and does not take private cases. Pediatric interventional radiology is delivered at Abu El Reesh, the Cairo University children's hospital, through the university outpatient and paediatric referral route.

HCC · Liver Oncology

TACE & Tumour Ablation

Targeted chemoembolization and thermal ablation (RFA/microwave) for liver tumours, guided by real-time imaging.

Varicocele Embolization

Day-case catheter treatment of testicular varicocele through a pinhole puncture — no scrotal incision, no general anaesthesia.

PCS · Ovarian Vein

Pelvic Congestion Embolization

Treatment of chronic pelvic pain caused by varicose pelvic and ovarian veins through precise catheter-based embolization.

Bleeding Control

Haemorrhage & Trauma Embolization

Emergency catheter control of GI bleeding, post-partum haemorrhage, haemoptysis and traumatic bleeding.

Biliary Drainage & Stenting

Percutaneous drainage and stenting for obstructive jaundice from stones or malignancy, without open surgery.

PCN · JJ Stent

Nephrostomy & Urinary Drainage

Pediatric Interventional Radiology

Image-guided treatment sized for children — renal artery stenosis, vascular anomalies, central venous access and hepatic intervention.
