Treatment through a pinhole, guided by real-time imaging.
Vascular Interventions Clinic provides advanced image-guided care in Vijayawada for conditions involving arteries, veins, internal bleeding, fibroids, enlarged prostate, dialysis access and selected tumours.
An interventional radiologist can often reach the treatment site through a small needle or catheter access point. Ultrasound, Doppler, CT, fluoroscopy and angiography help identify the problem and guide treatment precisely. Every recommendation begins with clinical assessment and imaging review, followed by a clear comparison of image-guided treatment, medicines, surgery or observation.

Uterine Fibroid Embolisation
Uterine artery embolisation (UAE), also called uterine fibroid embolisation (UFE), is a catheter-based treatment for selected women whose fibroids cause heavy bleeding, pelvic pressure, pain or urinary symptoms. The aim is to reduce the fibroids’ blood supply while preserving the uterus.
Peripheral Angioplasty
Peripheral angioplasty is a minimally invasive treatment used in selected patients to reopen narrowed or blocked arteries, most commonly in the legs. Restoring blood flow may reduce walking pain, support wound healing and help protect a limb when circulation is critically reduced.
Varicose Veins
Varicose veins treatment in Vijayawada begins with a clinical examination and venous Doppler scan to identify the source of reflux. Depending on the vein pattern and symptoms, care may include compression, endovenous laser or radiofrequency ablation, sclerotherapy or small-vein removal.
Deep Vein Thrombosis
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot in a deep vein, usually in the leg. It requires timely diagnosis because part of the clot can travel to the lungs. Most patients need anticoagulant medicine; selected extensive or limb-threatening clots may need catheter-based treatment.
Varicocele Embolization
Varicocele embolization is a minimally invasive option for selected men with a symptomatic varicocele. Through a vein in the neck, arm or groin, an interventional radiologist guides a catheter to the abnormal testicular vein and blocks reflux using coils, plugs or another embolic agent.
Prostatic Artery Embolisation
Prostatic artery embolisation (PAE) is a catheter-based treatment for selected men with urinary symptoms caused by benign prostatic enlargement. Tiny particles are delivered to prostate arteries to reduce blood supply, allowing the gland to shrink gradually.
Fistuloplasty
Fistuloplasty is an angioplasty performed to widen a narrowed dialysis fistula or graft. By improving blood flow through the access, it may support effective dialysis and help preserve an access that is becoming difficult to use.
Aorta Stenting
Aortic stent-graft repair is a minimally invasive treatment for selected aortic aneurysms, dissections and injuries. A fabric-covered stent is guided through the arteries and positioned inside the aorta to exclude the diseased segment from blood pressure and flow.
Interventional Oncology
Interventional oncology uses imaging to deliver treatment directly to selected tumours. Depending on the cancer, options can include transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE), radioembolisation, bland embolisation, thermal ablation, biopsy, drainage and venous access procedures.
Bronchial Artery Embolisation
Bronchial artery embolisation (BAE) is an image-guided emergency or planned treatment used to control significant or recurrent coughing of blood. A microcatheter is guided into abnormal bronchial or other systemic arteries and embolic material is delivered to stop the bleeding source.
GI Bleeding Embolization
Transcatheter embolization can control selected gastrointestinal bleeding when endoscopy is unsuccessful, not possible or when CT shows an arterial source. The procedure targets the bleeding artery through a catheter while trying to preserve circulation to healthy bowel.
Thyroid Nodule Ablation
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) can shrink selected benign thyroid nodules that cause pressure, swallowing discomfort or a visible neck swelling. A thin needle electrode is placed into the nodule under continuous ultrasound guidance while the patient remains awake.
Biopsy & Drainage
Ultrasound- and CT-guided procedures allow tissue sampling, fluid drainage and medical access through a small, accurately placed needle or catheter. Common procedures include liver, lung, kidney or soft-tissue biopsy, abscess drainage, nephrostomy, biliary drainage and chemo-port placement.

Preparation
Receive clear instructions about medicines, tests, admission and consent.
Vascular and interventional radiology care in Vijayawada
The clinic provides condition-led evaluation for patients who may benefit from minimally invasive, image-guided treatment. The aim is to understand the cause of symptoms first and then choose the most appropriate treatment path.
Artery and circulation problems
Narrowed or blocked arteries can reduce blood flow to the legs and other organs. Depending on the location and severity, evaluation may include Doppler, CT angiography or catheter angiography. Selected patients may be considered for peripheral angioplasty, stenting, aortic stent-graft treatment or another circulation-restoring procedure.
Vein disease and blood clots
Varicose veins, venous reflux and deep vein thrombosis require different forms of assessment. Doppler ultrasound helps map abnormal veins, identify reflux and locate a clot. Treatment can range from medicines and compression to endovenous laser, glue, sclerotherapy, thrombectomy or catheter-directed therapy in selected cases.
Embolisation and targeted treatment
Embolisation uses a catheter to reduce or stop blood flow to a carefully selected target. It may be considered for uterine fibroids, enlarged prostate, varicocele, internal bleeding or selected tumours. Image-guided biopsy, drainage and ablation can also reach a precise target without a large surgical incision.
Every treatment page explains the condition, common symptoms, required investigations, procedure steps and recovery. Patients searching for an interventional radiologist in Vijayawada can begin with the relevant treatment guide or bring their reports to a consultation with Dr. M. Bhavani Shankar Manam.

Frequently asked questions
Practical answers about consultation, evaluation and treatment.
An interventional radiologist treats selected artery, vein and organ-related conditions using imaging to guide catheters, wires or needles. At this clinic, consultations commonly involve varicose veins, fibroids, blocked arteries, DVT, varicocele, enlarged prostate, dialysis access, internal bleeding and selected tumours.
The correct treatment depends on the diagnosis, symptoms, examination and imaging. A Doppler scan may be important for varicose veins or DVT, while CT, MRI or angiography may be required for arterial disease, fibroids, bleeding or tumour-related procedures.
They are different approaches. Many interventional radiology procedures are performed through a small needle or catheter access point while ultrasound, CT or X-ray imaging guides the treatment. Suitability, admission and recovery vary by condition, and surgery may still be the better option for some patients.
Bring previous scan images and reports, recent blood tests, prescriptions, discharge summaries and a list of current medicines or allergies. Complete information helps the doctor review the diagnosis and explain whether medicines, an image-guided procedure, surgery or observation should be considered.
Yes. Patients can request a consultation with Dr. M. Bhavani Shankar Manam to review available reports and imaging. A second opinion can help clarify the diagnosis, possible image-guided treatment options, expected recovery and whether another specialist should also be involved.
