Pediatric intervention has grown substantially over the last 20 years. Interventionalists now work closely with surgeons and other physician groups to diagnose and treat a wide variety of pediatric disease processes. Using image guidance and intravenous sedation in most instances, the interventionalist performs vascular and nonvascular procedures such as embolotherapy, abscess drainage, dilation of strictures, biopsy, and percutaneous nutritional procedures, to name a few. It is my hope that the current and future techniques will lead to improved, more effective, and safer methods for treating sick children of all ages.
在过去20年里，儿科介入治疗有了显著发展。如今，介入治疗专家与外科医生及其他医师团队紧密合作，以诊断和治疗各种儿科疾病进程。在大多数情况下，介入治疗专家借助影像引导和静脉镇静，开展血管和非血管介入操作，比如栓塞治疗、脓肿引流、狭窄扩张、活检以及经皮营养操作等等。我希望当前及未来的技术能够带来更完善且更有效、更安全的方法，用于治疗各个年龄段的患病儿童。
