4. Pain Management: Our innovative techniques, including nerve blocks, facet joint injections, and spinal cord stimulator placement, effectively alleviate pain caused by conditions like arthritis, herniated discs, and spinal stenosis.
5. Image-Guided Biopsies: Using real-time imaging, we perform precise biopsies to diagnose and stage various diseases, including cancer.
6. Women's Health Interventions: Our specialized interventions for women's health include uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) and minimally invasive procedures for pelvic congestion syndrome and varicocele.

Areas where PRI has been a local leader include the following:

PRI's interventional radiology has led the city in the development and promotion of the treatment of uterine fibroids, providing uterine artery embolization since 1999.  Our interventional specialists also have the most experience in our region in the  treatment of pelvic hypertension/congestion by gonadal vein embolization. Pelvic hypertension/congestion can be a frequent cause of pelvic pain in women.

Additionally, PRI's Interventional Service was the first in the Tristate area to perform radiofrequency ablation and cryoablation of renal cell cancers, in cooperation with urologists.  PRI continues to do the highest volume of cryoablations of renal cell cancers in the region.

PRI was the first in the Tristate area to perform life-saving mechanical thrombectomy for pulmonary embolus. PRI also performs pulmonary artery thrombolysis for pulmonary embolus.

PRI also performs a large number of renal interventional proceduresl.  These include CO2 arteriography, angioplasty, transplant artery stent placement and percutaneous stent placement.  In addition, dialysis graft maintenance with angioplasty and thrombectomy is also an area of expertise, as is placement of tunneled catheters for dialysis.

Other common procedures done by PRI include port placement for chemotherapy, radiofrequency ablation for liver tumors, chemoembolization of tumors, and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts for portal hypertension.
