Abstract

Interventional radiology procedures are increasingly in demand in both the adult and pediatric populations. Pediatric procedures mirror many of the adult procedures but with increased complexity due to many considerations, notably patient size. This article reviews the various vascular pediatric interventional procedures. The aim is to provide a greater exposure to the possible treatment options for pediatric patients and to facilitate understanding of the success and complications rates related to various interventions.
