Interventional radiologists detect and treat illness. They treat a wide range of illnesses in the body by implanting several small tools, such as catheters or cables from external the body. X-ray and imaging methods such as CT and ultrasound help monitor the radiologist. Best Interventional radiologist treatment in chennai and Dr.Karthikeyan Damodharan is one of the best Interventional radiologist Doctor in chennai, India.
Vascular and Interventional radiology is a specialty in which minimally invasive procedures are performed through a pinhole access. The procedures are performed with imaging guidance (X-ray,ultrasound or CT) to treat problems in various parts of the body.
Through a pinhole access into the blood vessel in the groin the interventionalist can reach the blood vessel of any organ in the body to detect and treat the problem.
Many interventional procedures have replaced open surgical procedures with the added advantage of higher safety and faster recovery.
For example, for varicose vein of the legs, laser or RF ablation has been proven to be safer and equally effective as open surgical ligation/ stripping of the veins with much less pain and faster recovery.
For women suffering with uterine fibroids, uterine artery embolization procedure can successfully treat the condition without surgery to remove the uterus. Women can recover fully within a week of the procedure.
Arteries transmit oxygen-rich plasma from the heart, feeding every part of the body. The one exclusion is the pulmonary artery, which carries oxygen-poor plasma from your heart to your lungs, where it exchanges carbon dioxide for oxygen.
Veins transmit the blood back to the heart wherever it is refilled with oxygen. The afresh oxygen-rich blood gets pushed back into the heart via the pulmonary vein.
Capillaries bond the arteries to the veins. Vascular illness usually happens at sites of unbalanced blood flow. For example, when the blood movement in the arteries deviations direction suddenly.

I was diagnosed with Varicose and Dr. Karthikeyan Damodharan briefed me to undergo RFA (Radio frequency ablation) procedure,which is a new technology to treat varicose problems. Since, the technology is not known to many. I had my doubts, but Dr. Karthikeyan Damodharan and Dr. Avinash walked me through the process and I underwent a painless RFA procedure. My thoughts of a painful post-op days were wrong. I didn't feel any pain and went back to my daily routine in 2 days time. I highly recommend this RFA procedure to those who are suffering from varicose related problems.
My life partner had suffered due to Varicose vein for last 5 years. But after taking proper treatment and RFA procedure with Dr. Karthikeyan Damodharan, now she is alright and leads usual activities as usual within a month time. Simply, Dr.'s treatment and methods of approaching patients are Excellent.

My husband is pro-thrombotic, in addition, he has been battling other complications, MIOT has been our choice of hospital since 2014. Just ahead of his periodic review this month, he had spontaneously developed discomfort, crippling pain while walking and discoloration of the right leg big toe and foot. This was duly reported during the routine review and hence was referred for further evaluation and review by Dr Karthikeyan Damodharan, Director - Vascular and Interventional Radiology. Dr Karthikeyan Damodharan examined and investigated the condition and after taking time to go over the diagnosis and my husband's existing health complications and our concerns, clearly explained the underlying condition, treatment options, the urgency of the hour & complications that can arise due to delay and the best available choice in a manner which put us both at ease and made us confident as the entire interaction was filled with both personal touch and care for the patient while ensuring we were better informed to make the right decision.

The treatment that I received from Dr. Karthikeyan Dhamodharan was excellent. He is so friendly and ensure that I am properly informed about my health and care. Dr. Karthikeyan Dhamodharan did a great job with my first ever surgery i;e Angioplasty. He explained everything to me in a very clear manner and now my health is very fine. Dr. Karthikeyan Dhamodharan took great care of my health. He really took his time to explain my conditions with me as well as my treatment options. He relates well to people and listens to our concerns and takes appropriate action on the symptoms. He always takes the time to explain things to me in terms that I can understand well. I am highly grateful for his kindness and concern. Thank u doctor
Under the overall supervision and guidance of Dr. Karthikeyan and alongwith Dr. Avinash, I underwent an AV Fistula angioplasty on October 9th, 2021. Initially sceptical of the outcome of this procedure, as I have been having complications with dialysis using the AV Fistula, my treatment had to have alternatives if this Angioplasty failed for any reason which I could not immediately perceive. The procedure went very smoothly save mild discomfort lasting about an hour. I was able to see from beginning to the end the origin of the problem requiring the procedure, and the entire procedure itself wherein the angioplasty cleared the blocks from the upper arm enabling the use of the fistula for dialysis. Both doctors attending on me showed expertise in their field of vascular surgery, and for me personally a new lease of life. I would unhesitatingly recommend others having blocked blood vessels to contact Dr. Karthikeyan Damodaran and Dr. Avinash at MIOT International Hospitals in Chennai. A big thank you to both doctors and their team for an efficient and effective procedure to clear blocks in the blood vessel and render an otherwise defunct fistula active again. Jayant Krishnaswami
My Father had Covid infection with Jejunal (small bowel bleeding) Diverticular bleeding. He has identified the bleeding vessel precisely in CT Abdominal Angiogram and suggested interventional management for it in Cathlab. Within no time he made the Cathlab ready and shifted him to it. Sir has successfully done coil embolisation of the active bleeding artery in Cathlab under local anesthesia and arrested the bleeding... He saved the life of my father even in this COVID pandemic and my father is discharged from hospital and doing good now. Thank you sir for your timely and precise expert interventional management...

I was diagnosed with Multiple Fibroids, Endometriosis cyst and Adenomyosis, a few years back and suffered from excessive bleeding, exhaustion, pain, anemia and bloating. Doctors I consulted suggested a Hysterectomy. I wanted to avoid undergoing a surgery, that when I heard about Fibroid Uterine Artery Embolization, I was a little skeptical but decided to get it done after the Doctor explained about the procedure.I had pain for 10-15 hours post-procedure, I was given adequate pain killers and was well taken care. I was on my feet within 24 hours, I had tiredness and mild discomfort for 3-4 days. I was almost back to normal after a week. Dr.Karthikeyan Damodharan , Dr.Malla Avinash and their team were easy to reach (before, during and after the procedure). There was improvement in my first cycle itself. Its 4 months since the procedure, now my periods are normal and there is no pain, I am a healthy person now and my hemoglobin level is almost normal. I am very happy with the outcome.
