A Philips Allegra system is extensively used for performing a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for peripheral Vascular and GI related diseases.
Some of the highlights of the interventional work has been:
- Trans luminal angioplasty in peripheral vascular and reno vascular diseases.
- Sub intimal angioplasty is a highly specialized technique used for re-establishing the blood flow in long segment occlusive disease in the lower limbs. This relatively new technique has been performed in our hospital.
- Both particulate and non particulate embolisation for debulking of the tumour and occlusion of AVM’s
- Chemo embolisation and lipo chemo embolisation of hepatocellular carcinomas.
- Successful stenting of stenotic lesions in the iliac and other peripheral vessels.
- Embolisation of bleeding sites in acute Gastrointestinal bleeding.
- Total and partial splenic embolisation.
- Intra arterial catheter thrombolysis in recent embolic phenomenon to the arteries of the limbs.
- Vertebroplasty
- Uterine artery embolization.

Benchmark In Computed Volume Imaging
Apollo Hospitals, Bangalore, brings sophisticated imaging technology to India with the introduction of the state-of-the art Toshiba Acquilon 64 row detector CT. These new modalities have revolutionized cross sectional imaging with exquisitely detailed multiplanar depiction of human anatomy.
64 -slice data acquisition in cardiac scans implies that the entire heart can be covered in a few heart beats. This enables an optimal match of the heart rhythm with the data acquisition providing the highest temporal resolution.
High resolution 2D, 3D and 4D images of all body parts are now possible with reduced scan times and greater patient comfort. Non- invasive cardiac imaging and angiograms, virtual bronchoscopy and colonoscopy, angioscopy, articular cartilage imaging, functional imaging and neuronal tractography are only some of the previously unattainable modern day imaging techniques. With introduction of these modalities and medical imaging in this part of the world, Apollo is set to scale new heights with a quantum leap in the field of diagnostic and interventional radiology.
Apollo hospitals, Bangalore, is at the forefront of medical technology and expertise and provides a complete range of the latest diagnostic, medical and surgical facilities for the care of its patients. The hospital brings together some of the most talented medical professionals in the country and has a dedicated team of clinicians to provide highest standards of patient care.
