| [ Summary ] | Interventional radiology (IVR) has progressed rapidly, and become one of the most important therapies for lung disease. IVR is applied to pulmonary diseases such as arteriovenous malformations, hemoptysis, pulmonary thromboembolism and retrieval of intravascular foreign bodies. With the increase in the number of patients on hemodialysis, the opportunity to see patients who will receive or have received IVR has multiplied. It is important to have knowledge concerning IVR, including indications, methods, results and complications. | |
