Dr. Indushekar Subbanna is a senior Interventional Radiologist in Bengaluru with 38 years of experience in image-guided diagnostic and minimally invasive therapeutic procedures. His clinical work includes abdominal, hepatobiliary, vascular, urinary and oncology-related interventions.
His major areas of expertise include Transarterial Chemoembolization, biliary stenting, embolization procedures, image-guided urinary interventions and gastrostomy procedures. He has extensive experience in interventional treatment for liver tumours and other complex oncological conditions.
Dr. Indushekar Subbanna completed his MBBS followed by MD in Radiodiagnosis and DMRD. His career has focused extensively on Interventional Radiology and image-guided cancer treatment.
He has performed more than 20,000 interventional procedures, including over 5,000 TACE procedures and more than 2,500 biliary stent procedures. He has also contributed to advanced interventional treatment protocols for hepatocellular carcinoma, metastatic liver disease and neuroendocrine tumours.
Alongside clinical practice, Dr. Indushekar Subbanna is actively involved in Interventional Radiology training, research and academic mentorship. He has authored and co-authored scientific publications involving transarterial therapies, embolization and minimally invasive image-guided procedures.
TACE is an image-guided interventional procedure used for selected liver tumours. Anti-cancer treatment is delivered through the tumour's arterial blood supply while embolization helps reduce blood flow to the tumour.
Biliary stenting is an image-guided procedure used to restore bile flow when the bile ducts are narrowed or blocked by malignant or benign disease.
Vascular embolization uses image guidance to selectively block abnormal or targeted blood vessels and may be used for bleeding control, tumour treatment and other vascular conditions.
Hepatobiliary interventions include minimally invasive image-guided procedures involving the liver and bile ducts, such as tumour-directed therapy, drainage and biliary stenting.
Interventional Radiology can provide targeted minimally invasive procedures for selected primary and metastatic liver tumours based on tumour characteristics and multidisciplinary treatment planning.
Image-guided liver interventions may be used for selected metastatic tumours involving the liver when local treatment forms part of the overall cancer management strategy.
Selected neuroendocrine tumours and their liver metastases may be managed using specialised image-guided interventional procedures as part of multidisciplinary oncology treatment.
Interventional Radiology procedures involving the urinary system may include image-guided drainage and other minimally invasive treatments depending on the underlying condition.
Image-guided gastrostomy creates feeding access to the stomach using radiological guidance for patients who require long-term enteral nutritional support.
Pancreatic venous sampling is a specialised interventional diagnostic procedure that may help localise hormonally active pancreatic lesions such as selected insulinomas.
Image-guided biopsy uses ultrasound, CT or other imaging techniques to accurately obtain tissue samples from selected lesions for pathological diagnosis.
Percutaneous drainage uses image guidance to place a catheter into selected abnormal fluid collections or obstructed systems without requiring conventional open surgery.
