Take You To Know The Magic Of Cath Lab System II
When we go to the hospital, a lot of people think it's nothing more than internal medicine or surgery. In fact, there is also the third-largest clinical department along with internal medicine and surgery, which is called the Interventional Department.
The Interventional Department, as the name implies, is the department of interventional diagnosis and treatment. Surgical treatment relies on surgery, medical treatment relies on medication, and interventional treatment is somewhere in between. It does not require surgery and is only used to make tiny channels with a diameter of several millimeters on the skin, or through the natural orifices of the human body, under the guidance of a Digital Subtraction Angiography machine or Mobile C Arm X-Ray Machine to carry out diagnosis and treatment of lesions.
Interventional therapy can be divided into tumor intervention, non-tumor intervention, neurological intervention, and gynecological intervention by using an Angiography machine or Mobile C arm X-ray Machine according to the scope of treatment.
Tumor Intervention——Green Minimally Invasive
Conventional treatments for tumors include surgical resection and medical chemoradiation. Interventional therapy can effectively control the tumor without surgical resection. The tumor is "poisoned" by infusing chemotherapeutic drugs and embolizing agents into the arteries supplying the tumor. Its local drug concentration is high, and the systemic side effects are small. Compared with the side effects of surgery and medical chemoradiotherapy, interventional therapy is truly a green minimally invasive treatment.
Taking liver cancer as an example, liver cancer is known as the "king of cancers", and its onset is insidious. About 80% to 90% of patients have lost the chance of radical cure such as surgical resection, liver transplantation, and local ablation once discovered. Interventional transcatheter arterial chemoembolization has been recognized as the first choice for non-surgical treatment, which can significantly improve the survival of patients with liver cancer.
Taking lung cancer as an example, lung cancer ranks first in both incidence and mortality in China. Minimally invasive interventional therapy, direct injection of drugs into the local lung lesions, and precise treatment while avoiding the side effects of systemic chemotherapy.
Interventional therapy can achieve a significant curative effect on lung cancer, liver cancer, gynecological tumor, limb tumor, and other tumors.
