  • Title: Postprocedure clinical management for the interventional radiologist.
    Author: Thornton K.
    Journal: Tech Vasc Interv Radiol; 2006 Sep; 9(3):106-12. PubMed ID: 17561213.
    Abstract:
    Interventional procedures for oncology patients are being used more frequently in the front line and palliative setting. It is important that interventional radiologists familiarize themselves with some of the frequently encountered symptoms and potential complications and develop guidelines to help manage and sometimes prevent these complications from occurring. Unfortunately, there is not much data to support various supportive measures specifically for the post-procedural patient. However, by extrapolating the information available for the management of systemic chemotherapy patients, as well as discussing the steps that can be taken to avoid certain complications like acute renal failure, we as oncologists and interventional radiologists can better care for this unique and often complicated patient population.
