Learn to avoid and manage complications from non-vascular interventional and interventional oncological procedures. The range of non-vascular procedures in interventional imaging is vast, addressing conditions like kidney stones, diagnostic biopsies for suspected cancers, bile duct occlusions, compression fractures, and abscess drainage. Many cancers are amenable to local tumor destruction using interventional techniques, minimizing morbidity and mortality. This compendium details 45 cases to thoroughly review potential complications during these procedures. Each case features take-home messages that outline essential prevention strategies. Key features include a case-based format that allows readers to learn from the authors' real-life experiences, comprehensive coverage of complications associated with technologies like thermal ablation and percutaneous CT-guided high-dose brachytherapy, and extensive advice on optimizing patient safety throughout the interventional therapy process. The take-home messages at the end of each case provide crucial prevention strategies. This resource is invaluable for radiology residents, fellows, experienced interventional radiologists, and all physicians engaged in non-vascular and oncological interventions, focusing on methods to avoid and manage complications effectively.
