About
Interventional Radiology, also known as vascular and interventional radiology or surgical radiology, is an independent medical specialty that employs minimally invasive, image-guided procedures to diagnose and treat diseases in nearly every organ system. Because of the minimally invasive nature of Interventional Radiology, most procedures do not require general anaesthesia, thereby decreasing the added risk of being put to sleep under anaesthesia. Interventional Radiology treatments do not involve “open surgery”, which has many benefits, such as:
- Small incisions, few incisions, or no incision
- Less pain
- Low risk of infection
- Short hospital stays
- Quick recovery time
- Less scarring
- Reduced blood loss
- Reduced apprehension

Dr Hammed Ninalowo explains how Interventional Radiology procedures can save diabetic limbs.
Dr Hammed Ninalowo, a US-trained Vascular and Interventional Radiologist practicing at Euracare Multi-Specialist Hospital Nigeria explains how Interventional Radiology can save patients from the amputation of limbs. Diabetic foot disease, mainly due to neuropathy, peripheral arterial disease, and/or infection, often leads to ulceration and possible subsequent limb amputation.Euracare provides free scans to Siamese twins conjoined at the head
First time in Ghana, Euracare Advanced Diagnostics and Heart Centre provides free Cerebral Angiogram for Conjoined twins (Craniopagus).
As part of preparing for a life-saving separation surgery for the twin babies, Euracare Advanced Diagnostics and Heart Centre carried out an angiogram on June 4th, which will be the first out of several scans the twins will be subjected to in the next 12 to 18 months for the separation.
It took 6 hours for a team of 13 medical staff including four anesthesiologists to transport the babies and administer the scans.
Craniopagus are exceedingly rare, with an incident of one in 2,5 million birth, making it difficult for surgeons to master all techniques around such cases. Euracare assembled its best team to undertake this complex procedure as a Corporate Social Responsibility initiative.
The success of this operation will make history as this is the first attempt to separate conjoined babies at the head in the country.
Euracare’s team is extremely proud of being part of this pioneering medical procedure in Ghana.
