Interventional Therapy For Peripheral Vessels

Interventional therapy is a common treatment method for peripheral vessels, which tumors cannot be surgically removed. Because the growth of malignant tumors requires nutrition, that is, blood vessels are required to supply nutrition. Therefore, interventional therapy refers to finding an artery from the periphery of the body, inserting a tube, and inserting a tube into it. It has been sent to the tumor blood supply artery, and then the drug is injected into the artery to specifically kill the tumor. The injected drugs are as follows:

1. Embolic agent: The embolic agent includes lipiodol and small particles. The purpose is to embolize the tumor blood vessels and block the tumor supply blood vessels. The tumor will be ischemia, hypoxia, lack of nutrients, and the growth will be slowed or a part of it will die;

2. Chemotherapy drugs: After the chemotherapy drugs are injected, a high concentration environment is formed in the local area of the tumor, which directly kills the tumor.

Interventional therapy is the process of interventional embolization. Both chemotherapeutic drugs and embolic agents are used. The two-pronged approach can not only starve the tumor but also kill the tumor. Therefore, interventional therapy is more important, and the treatment effect is better for liver tumors that cannot be surgically removed.
