Ablation, Embolization, and Stenting: Current Trends in Interventional Radiology

Dear Colleagues,

Interventional radiology (IR) continues to redefine modern medicine through its minimally invasive, image-guided techniques. Among the most impactful innovations are ablation, embolization, and stenting—cornerstone therapies that have rapidly evolved and now play a central role in managing a wide range of conditions across oncology, vascular disease, and organ dysfunction. This Special Issue, “Ablation, Embolization, and Stenting: Current Trends in Interventional Radiology”, will bring together leading voices in this field to highlight recent advancements, emerging technologies, and evolving clinical indications.

Thermal and non-thermal ablation techniques are now firmly established in oncologic care, offering curative potential for patients ineligible for surgery. Embolization strategies—ranging from transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) to prostate artery embolization—have broadened therapeutic options and improved patient outcomes. Meanwhile, stenting remains indispensable in both elective and emergency settings, with newer designs offering enhanced safety and durability.

By publishing original research, technical updates, and expert reviews, this Special Issue will inform clinical practice, foster innovation, and support the integration of IR into multidisciplinary care. As IR continues to push the boundaries of what is possible, the insights shared in this Special Issue will highlight the technique’s pivotal role in shaping the future of minimally invasive medicine.
