Interventional procedures are medical techniques used to diagnose or treat various health conditions through minimally invasive methods. These procedures often involve the use of imaging technology, such as X-rays or ultrasound, to guide doctors as they perform treatments. Common examples include angioplasty, where a balloon is used to open blocked blood vessels, and biopsies, which involve taking tissue samples for testing. These procedures are typically performed in a hospital or specialized clinic and can lead to quicker recovery times compared to traditional surgery. By using small incisions or no incisions at all, interventional procedures help reduce pain and the risk of complications, making them a preferred option for many patients.
