[Interventional radiology--current status and future importance].

The main methods of interventional radiology are described under clinical aspects. Treatment in peripheral arterial occlusive diseases by angioplasty and special other methods (stents, thrombectomy), as well as in bleeding management by embolization or different diagnostic and therapeutic techniques associated with oncologic diseases are performed. Minimal-invasive procedures are one of the most important courses of the practical medicine in the future.
