Vascular Interventional Radiology

Our vascular system is a maze of arteries, veins and tiny capillaries spreading out from the heart to deliver oxygen and nutrients to every cell in the body. As blood circulates, it removes carbon dioxide, toxins and waste materials. Vascular disorders can affect practically any part of the body, but the most common areas we treat are the heart and limbs.

We specialize in minimally invasive, targeted treatments. Our leading-edge capabilities include GE's Innova IGS 540 System, which offers one of the largest fields of view for interventional imaging, excellent image quality and shorter exam times.

Vascular Conditions

Jupiter Medical Center's integrated approach to patient care allows surgeons and interventional radiologists to provide you with the latest and most advanced techniques for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of vascular diseases including:

• Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
• Carotid Artery Disease
• Deep Vein Thrombosis
• Peripheral Arterial Disease
• Pulmonary Embolism
• Varicose Veins

Interventional Radiologists are advancing cancer detection and treatment through the use of imaging technology, frequently used in combination with the most current innovations available in the oncology field. Their goal is to precisely locate and remove tumors in a minimally or noninvasive way.

Most patients who undergo these procedures are outpatients or require an overnight stay in the hospital.

• Procedures include:
• Chemoembolization
• Radioembolization
• Obstruction relief/Fluid drainage
• Microwave ablation
• Percutaneous biopsies
• Powerports and PICC line placement
• Radiofrequency ablation
• Venous access
• Vertebroplasty/ Kyphoplasty

Jupiter Medical Center is proud to offer its patients the latest technology for interventional radiology procedures.

Interventional Oncology is an integral part of cancer treatment today. Jupiter Medical Center is pleased to offer Veran Medical Technologies Total Navigational Oncology Solution to our patients. Interventional Radiologists perform minimally invasive biopsies and targeted procedures such as ablation.

The addition of the ig4™ Platform for interventional radiology provides electromagnetic based 4D navigation technology, which incorporates a unique respiration tracking system allowing physicians to locate suspicious targets throughout a patient’s breathing pattern.

Patient PET and CT scans are combined with the system, creating a 4D view in real time, allowing physicians to “see inside” to accurately target a lesion within a moving organ such as the lungs, kidneys or liver. This technology reduces procedure time and radiation dose.
