Abstract
Interventional radiology (IR) plays an increasingly important role in the multidisciplinary management of post-operative complications following bariatric surgery. Rapid technological advances have resulted in a range of minimally invasive procedures, which are safe and effective for the treatment of both early and late complications. These include IR techniques for the management of post-operative anastomotic leaks, collections, haemorrhage, anastomotic strictures, prevention of pulmonary embolism, and choledocholithiasis. The chapter succinctly reviews the current role of interventional radiology in modern post-operative bariatric patient management and offers an insight into new trends and future directions.
