About-Dr. Gurucharan S Shetty

Dr. Gurucharan S Shetty is an experienced Interventional Radiologist in Bangalore specialising in minimally invasive, image-guided procedures used for the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of vascular, neurological, oncological and organ-related conditions. His clinical practice combines advanced imaging techniques with catheter-based and percutaneous procedures to provide targeted treatment without the need for conventional open surgery in suitable patients.

His major areas of expertise include vascular and endovascular interventions, neurointerventional radiology, interventional oncology, hepatobiliary interventions, renal interventions, women's health procedures, men's health interventions and image-guided diagnostic procedures.

Dr. Gurucharan S Shetty performs advanced minimally invasive procedures including tumour embolisation, transarterial chemoembolisation, tumour ablation, angioplasty and stenting, varicose vein treatment, uterine artery embolisation, varicocele embolisation, prostate artery embolisation and image-guided biopsies and drainages.

He also has experience in neurointerventional procedures used for conditions affecting the brain and blood vessels, including mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke, embolisation of brain and spinal arteriovenous malformations and endovascular management of selected cerebral vascular disorders.

In interventional oncology, Dr. Gurucharan uses image-guided techniques to deliver targeted treatment for selected tumours. Procedures such as transarterial chemoembolisation and percutaneous tumour ablation can be considered for appropriately selected patients as part of multidisciplinary cancer treatment.

His approach focuses on accurate diagnosis, careful procedure planning, minimally invasive treatment and appropriate post-procedure follow-up. Patients looking for an Interventional Radiologist in Bangalore for vascular disease, stroke intervention, liver tumours, uterine fibroids, varicose veins, varicocele, prostate enlargement or image-guided procedures can consult Dr. Gurucharan S Shetty for specialised assessment.

Treatments Provided by Dr. Gurucharan S Shetty

Uterine Artery Embolisation for Fibroids

Uterine artery embolisation is a minimally invasive treatment for selected women with symptomatic uterine fibroids. The procedure works by reducing the blood supply to fibroids, helping them shrink while preserving the uterus in suitable patients.

Varicose Veins Treatment

Dr. Gurucharan provides minimally invasive treatment options for varicose veins, including endovenous techniques and sclerotherapy. These procedures are designed to close abnormal veins without conventional open vein surgery in appropriately selected patients.

Varicocele Embolisation

Varicocele embolisation is a minimally invasive catheter-based procedure used to block abnormal veins contributing to varicocele. It may be considered for selected men with pain, swelling or fertility-related concerns.

Prostate Artery Embolisation

Prostate artery embolisation is a minimally invasive procedure used in selected patients with symptoms related to benign prostate enlargement. It works by reducing blood supply to enlarged prostate tissue to help decrease prostate volume and improve symptoms.

TACE for Liver Cancer

Transarterial chemoembolisation, commonly known as TACE, is an image-guided treatment that delivers chemotherapy directly into blood vessels supplying selected liver tumours while simultaneously reducing their blood supply.

Tumour Ablation

Image-guided tumour ablation uses specialised needles and thermal energy to destroy selected tumours without conventional open surgery. The procedure may be used for certain liver, kidney and other suitable tumours depending on their size, location and clinical characteristics.

Mechanical Thrombectomy for Stroke

Mechanical thrombectomy is an emergency neurointerventional procedure used in selected patients with acute ischemic stroke caused by blockage of a major brain artery. A catheter-based device is used to remove the clot and restore blood flow to the affected area of the brain.

Brain and Spine AVM Embolisation

Endovascular embolisation may be used to treat selected arteriovenous malformations and dural arteriovenous fistulas involving the brain or spine. The procedure aims to block abnormal blood vessel connections and reduce the risk of complications.

Angioplasty and Stenting

Angioplasty and stenting are minimally invasive vascular procedures used to open narrowed or blocked arteries. Depending on the condition, these techniques may be used in peripheral, carotid, renal or other blood vessels.

Image-Guided Biopsy and FNAC

CT and ultrasound-guided biopsies and FNAC procedures allow precise sampling of suspicious lesions or abnormal tissue using imaging guidance. These techniques can help obtain tissue for diagnosis while minimising unnecessary surgical intervention.

Image-Guided Drainage Procedures

Image-guided drainage can be used to treat selected abscesses, fluid collections and other conditions by accurately placing a needle or drainage catheter under ultrasound or CT guidance.

Biliary Drainage and Stenting

Interventional radiology techniques such as percutaneous biliary drainage and biliary stenting can help relieve obstruction of the bile ducts in selected patients with benign or malignant hepatobiliary conditions.

Renal and Urological Interventions

Dr. Gurucharan performs selected renal and urological interventional procedures including embolisation for renal bleeding or vascular abnormalities, renal tumour embolisation, ablation, nephrostomy and other image-guided interventions.

Emergency Bleeding Embolisation

Embolisation can be used to control certain types of internal bleeding by selectively blocking the blood vessel responsible for haemorrhage. It may be used in emergency situations depending on the cause and location of bleeding.
