Interventional Medicine – Advanced care for minimally invasive management

Introduction

Interventional medicine is revolutionizing the management of many medical conditions by offering minimally invasive solutions for diagnosing and treating complex pathologies. Unlike traditional surgery, these interventions reduce pain, complications and recovery time for animals.

Our advanced techniques enable us to intervene effectively on the cardiovascular, digestive and urinary systems, offering modern treatment options tailored to each patient.

Real-time fluoroscopy: Dynamic visualization for precisely guided procedures
Interventional ultrasound: Direct organ access for targeted biopsies and drainages
Scanner and advanced imaging: Precise diagnoses for tailored interventions

Interdisciplinary collaboration and personalized follow-up

Our interventional medicine team works closely with the departments of cardiology, oncology, neurology and internal medicine to offer comprehensive, personalized care. This multidisciplinary approach optimizes results by tailoring each procedure to the animal’s specific needs.

Whether you’re looking for a targeted intervention or an alternative to traditional surgery, our interventional medicine department is on hand to offer innovative solutions that always respect animal welfare.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is veterinary interventional medicine?

Interventional medicine is a minimally invasive approach to the diagnosis and treatment of various pathologies without the need for major surgery. It uses advanced tools such as:
✔️ Fluoroscopy (real-time imaging)
✔️ Interventional ultrasound
✔️ Endoscopy and catheterization
✔️ Guided scanning for precise interventions

What types of conditions can be treated with interventional medicine?

Our veterinary specialists treat :
✔️ Heart and vascular problems (shunt closure, tracheal and vascular stenting)
✔️ Urinary disorders (ureteral obstructions, cystoscopy, lithotripsy for urinary calculi)
✔️ Inoperable tumors (chemoembolization, targeted biopsies)
✔️ Digestive disorders (extraction of foreign bodies, placement of gastroenteric tubes)

What are the advantages of interventional medicine over conventional surgery?

✔️ Less invasive: No major incisions, so less pain and stress for the animal
✔️ Faster recovery: Reduced hospital stays and shorter convalescence
✔️ Fewer risks: Reduced post-operative complications
✔️ Precise interventions: Use of advanced imaging for optimal targeting

What are the risks associated with interventional procedures?

Risks are significantly reduced compared with conventional surgery, but may include:
✔️ Local inflammation after the procedure
✔️ Infection (managed with rigorous monitoring and appropriate care)
✔️ Risk of recurrence depending on the pathology treated
