AB  - Availability  of  appropriately  trained  interventional  radiologists  is  an  important  component  of  ICU  patient  care.Interventional  radiologic  techniques  may  be  prophylactic  (e.g.,  use  of  vena  caval  interruption  to  prevent  pulmonary  embolism),  diagnostic  (e.g.,  angiography  in  gastrointestinal  hemorrhage),  or  therapeutic  (e.g.,  drainage  of  abscess,  control  of  gastrointestinal  hemorrhage  through  embolotherapy  or  vasoconstrictor  infusion,  creation  of  transjugular  intrahepatic  portosystemic  shunts  [TIPS],  or  retrieval  of  a  foreign  body).Interventional  radiologic  techniques  are  as  effective  as  many  open  surgical  techniques  but  carry  lower  morbidity  and  mortality  in  the  ICU  patient.Interventional  radiologic  techniques  should  be  considered  in  ICU  patients  when  the  risk  of  more  invasive  procedures  is  greater  and  the  outcome  is  not  predictably  better.Appropriate  ICU  monitoring  devices  and  support  systems  (oxygen,  suction,  ventilation,  ICU-type  personnel)  must  be  available  in  the  radiology  suite  for  safe  management  of  ICU  patients.
