September 15, 2016. Dallas, TX. Majid and Van Meter Interventional Radiologists publish a new article that explains what to expect while recovering from the interventional radiology procedures they specialize in. As these interventional oncology specialists in Dallas explain, in general patients can expect recovery from IR procedures to be faster and easier than recovery from traditional invasive surgical procedures. The reason is that IR procedures are minimally invasive, and don't require large incisions.

Depending on the procedure, however, there may be a recovery period. Patients receiving chemoembolization to shrink or eliminate cancerous tumors in the liver may experience some pain, nausea, and lethargy for a few days after the procedure, but most such symptoms pass within five to seven days, after which they can return to light activity. Patients undergoing a Uterine Artery Embolization procedure to eliminate non-cancerous uterine fibroids may expect similar symptoms, plus minor flu-like symptoms for a few days as their bodies adjust to the death of the fibroid tissues.

As some of the best interventional radiology doctors in Dallas point out in their article, each IR procedure they perform is unique, and so one can expect slightly different recovery experiences following each of them. But the one thing that patients can always count on is that their doctors will be there to explain any issues, because "Patient care for us at MTV IR is priority number one."

Treatment Options

Similar to radiologists, MTV IR helps to diagnose cancers and other disorders. As Dallas' interventional oncology specialists, the practice focuses on high-end, minimally-invasive procedures used to treat different types of cancer. These procedures include radiofrequency ablation, chemoembolization or radioembolization of tumors, portal vein embolization, and treatment of bony metastases. Many of these tumors occur in the liver, and these procedures allow MTV IR to provide the most advanced liver cancer treatment in North Texas.

In addition, because the management of pain is a big part of oncology treatment, MTV IR also serves as a top pain management center in Dallas/Fort Worth, specializing in epidural steroid injections and facet injections, selective nerve root blocks, kyphoplasty, and rhizotomy.
