Intervention radiology in a small center hospital.
Radiologic intervention procedures are being introduced more and more in larger centers. The role of the radiologist in small hospitals has to be established. The results of 3 years of experience with radiologic intervention procedures in a 280-bed small center hospital are reported. Drainage procedures and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty have been employed successfully but, as yet, the experiences with embolization have been disappointing.
