Abstract
Knowledge of certain medications is important for interventional radiologists (IR). They are used to manage patients in the pre-, peri-, intra-, and post-procedural period. The understanding of the basic classes and commonly seen medications is essential to the optimal care of patients undergoing interventional radiology procedures. Here we summarize the characteristics, indications, and classes of medications used in interventional radiology procedures.
Many patients undergoing interventional procedures might be taking multiple medications. In addition to knowledge of the basic medications used by the IR, it is important to be aware of possible drug–drug interactions and adjust the medications used accordingly.
