FAQs
Want to find out more about the treatment? The answer to your questions can be found below.
What is a pinhole intervention?
Pinhole interventions are minimally invasive, image-guided procedures that treat a wide range of medical conditions through tiny skin punctures, avoiding open surgery.
Which conditions can be treated through pinhole interventions?
AIPI provides solutions for stroke, aneurysms, thyroid , breast , fibroid, varicose vein, cancer, prostate, bleeding emergencies, and many others across multiple body systems.
Do I need general anaesthesia for these procedures?
Most pinhole interventions are performed under local anaesthesia or conscious sedation, significantly lowering anaesthesia-related risks.
Is a referral required to consult the AIPI team?
While referrals are welcome, you can also directly consult our interventional specialists for an evaluation and personalised treatment plan.
What are the benefits of pinhole procedures?
These procedures offer shorter hospital stays, faster recovery, reduced pain, minimal scarring, and lower risk of complications compared to traditional surgery.
Are these procedures safe?
Yes, pinhole interventions are performed by experienced specialists using advanced imaging guidance and state-of-the-art equipment to ensure precision and safety.
How soon can I return to normal activities after a pinhole procedure?
Recovery times are generally much faster than open surgery—many patients resume routine activities within a few days, depending on the procedure.
What technologies support pinhole interventions at AIPI?
We utilise advanced imaging systems, including flat-panel hybrid Bi-plane Cath Lab, Image Fusion, and low-dose radiation protocols for patient safety.
