Dr. Vidya Bhargavi R – Interventional Radiologist in Bangalore

Dr. Vidya Bhargavi R is an experienced Interventional Radiologist in Bangalore with more than 13 years of clinical experience in diagnostic and interventional radiology. She specialises in minimally invasive image-guided procedures for both vascular and non-vascular conditions.

She holds MBBS and MD in Radiodiagnosis qualifications along with specialised fellowship training in vascular and interventional radiology. She is also certified by the European Board of Interventional Radiology.

Dr. Vidya Bhargavi has specialised expertise in vascular and non-vascular interventions, including hepatobiliary, oncological, peripheral vascular and genito-urinary procedures.

Her interventional oncology experience includes regional intra-arterial chemotherapy, pre-operative embolization and advanced image-guided procedures used in the management of selected cancers.

She is also experienced in ultrasound- and CT-guided biopsies, aspirations and ablative procedures, which allow diagnostic samples or targeted treatments to be delivered through minimally invasive techniques.

Her expertise extends to gastrointestinal and non-cardiac thoracic interventions as well as retrieval of intravascular foreign bodies using image-guided endovascular techniques.

Dr. Vidya Bhargavi has advanced experience with multiple imaging modalities, including X-ray, fluoroscopy, mammography, ultrasound, CT and MRI, supporting precise diagnosis and procedure planning.

She has completed international training and observership programmes in Interventional Radiology, including an International Visiting Observership at Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School in Boston.

Her research work includes endovascular rescue procedures, transarterial radioembolization for liver malignancies and embolization techniques for complex oncological and vascular conditions.

Dr. Vidya Bhargavi currently practises at HCG Cancer Hospital, K. R. Road, Bengaluru.

Interventional Radiology

Dr. Vidya Bhargavi R performs minimally invasive image-guided procedures for a wide range of vascular, oncological and non-vascular conditions. These techniques use imaging guidance to diagnose and treat disease while reducing the need for conventional open surgery in suitable patients.

Image-Guided Biopsy

Image-guided biopsy uses ultrasound or CT imaging to accurately position a needle within an abnormal lesion and obtain tissue for pathological examination.

CT-Guided Biopsy

CT-guided biopsy is used for lesions that require precise cross-sectional imaging guidance to obtain diagnostic tissue samples from organs or deep structures.

Ultrasound-Guided Biopsy

Ultrasound guidance allows real-time visualisation during needle biopsy and aspiration procedures and can improve accuracy while avoiding nearby structures.

Image-Guided Tumor Ablation

Image-guided ablation is a minimally invasive technique used to destroy selected abnormal or cancerous tissue using targeted energy delivered through a precisely positioned probe.

Vascular Interventions

Dr. Vidya Bhargavi performs image-guided procedures involving arteries and veins for selected vascular conditions, using minimally invasive catheter-based techniques.

Pre-Operative Embolization

Pre-operative embolization involves blocking selected blood vessels supplying a tumour or abnormal tissue to reduce blood flow before surgery and may help improve procedural safety in suitable cases.

Transarterial Radioembolization

Transarterial radioembolization is an image-guided treatment that delivers radioactive material through arteries supplying selected liver tumours, allowing targeted treatment of cancerous tissue.

Regional Intra-Arterial Chemotherapy

Regional intra-arterial chemotherapy delivers anticancer medication directly through an artery supplying the tumour, helping concentrate treatment within the affected region in selected patients.

Hepatobiliary Interventions

Image-guided hepatobiliary procedures are used for selected conditions affecting the liver and biliary system and may include drainage, stenting and other minimally invasive interventions.

Peripheral Vascular Interventions

Peripheral vascular interventions involve minimally invasive procedures for conditions affecting arteries and veins outside the heart and brain.

Genito-Urinary Interventions

Interventional radiology can be used for selected urinary and genito-urinary conditions through image-guided drainage, access and embolization procedures.

Intravascular Foreign Body Retrieval

Specialised catheter-based techniques may be used to retrieve foreign material from blood vessels without conventional open surgery.

GI Tract Interventions

Image-guided gastrointestinal interventions may be used for selected digestive tract conditions requiring minimally invasive access or therapeutic procedures.

Non-Cardiac Thoracic Interventions

Dr. Vidya Bhargavi performs selected image-guided procedures involving structures within the chest outside the heart, including diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.
