Interventional treatment (Interventional treatment), is between surgery, internal medicine treatment between the emerging treatment methods, including endovascular intervention and non-vascular intervention. After more than 30 years of development, it is now known as one of the three pillar disciplines together with surgery and internal medicine. Simply put, interventional therapy is the least invasive treatment method to treat the lesion locally under the guidance of imaging equipment (angiography, fluoroscopy, CT, MR, B ultrasound) without opening up the lesion and exposing it to the skin, making tiny channels with a diameter of a few millimeters in blood vessels, or through the body's original pipeline. Interventional therapy is characterized by minimal trauma, simplicity, safety, effectiveness, fewer complications and significantly shorter hospitalization time.
For diseases that require medical treatment, the advantages of interventional therapy over medical treatment are:
Drugs can be directly applied to the lesion, which not only greatly increases the concentration of drugs in the lesion, but also greatly reduces the dosage of drugs and reduces the side effects of drugs.
Second, for the need for surgical treatment of diseases, interventional therapy relative to surgical treatment advantages are:
1, it does not need to be exposed to the lesion, usually only a few millimeters of skin incision, you can complete the treatment, epidermal damage is small, the appearance is beautiful.
2, most patients only need local anesthesia rather than general anesthesia, thus reducing the risk of anesthesia.

3, small damage, fast recovery, satisfactory results, and small impact on normal body organs.
4. For malignant tumors which are difficult to treat nowadays, interventional therapy can try to confine the drugs to the lesions while reducing the side effects on the body and other organs. Some tumors are equivalent to surgical resection after interventional therapy.
Because of the above advantages, many interventional therapies have become one of the most important treatments for some diseases (e.g., cirrhosis, liver cancer, lung cancer, lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, aneurysm, vascular malformation, uterine fibroids, etc.).
