At Interventional Paws, we love animals, and we know you do, too. That’s why you’re here.
Our mission is to be a bridge connecting loving pet owners with the help they need to provide animals a level of comfort and treatment they deserve. We work closely with the Animal Medical Center in New York City and the Matthew J. Ryan Veterinary School at the University of Pennsylvania—which is home to the country’s first minimally invasive interventional radiology service—but our reach extends far beyond.
Funding and support for human medicine is light years ahead of that provided to animals, and we’re working to improve the entire field of veterinary medicine—and, by extension, the lives of our beloved pets in need of our care—by connecting humans in need of specialized pet care to doctors who can provide it (and vice versa). To that end, we also work closely with the Society of Endovascular Surgery in Haverford, PA.
Tell us your story and we’ll do everything we can to help.
Interventional radiology uses fluoroscopy to visualize the placement of catheters, stents, balloons, and coils into blood vessels, the urinary system, the respiratory system, and other tubular structures.
Interventional endoscopy utilizes the endoscope under fluoroscopic guidance for diagnostic and therapeutic endeavors like: malignant obstructions in the urethra, ureter, bladder, common bile duct, or intestines/colon; strictures in the urinary system, nasal passages, trachea or intestine; relieving bile duct obstructions secondary to obstructive pancreatitis, choleliths, infection or tumors; and breaking down stones in the urinary or biliary system using lithotripsy.
