New Methods and Technologies in Angiography
Three-dimensional imaging capable of CT scanning and detecting the location of cancer to facilitate easy targeting high-resolution angiography devices with 3D capabilities have begun to be used.
Many methods and technological innovations have emerged for vessel opening with angiography. The most important of these relate to the opening of completely occluded vessels. This is achieved with atherectomy, which can operate with many different techniques. With these innovations, many total occlusions that were previously impossible to open have become treatable.

As with drug-coated balloons, a special drug is placed on the stent. This drug reduces the likelihood of the vessel re-narrowing or occluding in the long term.
Prof. Dr. Özgür Kılıçkesmez is one of Türkiye’s leading interventional radiology and neuroradiology specialists, focusing on minimally invasive endovascular treatments. His primary areas of expertise include aneurysm and stroke treatments, embolization procedures, non-surgical treatments of thyroid and parathyroid diseases, interventional oncology, and peripheral vascular interventions. He currently serves as the Head of the Interventional Radiology and Neuroradiology Department at Istanbul Memorial Göztepe Hospital.
Graduating from Istanbul University Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine in 1997, Prof. Dr. Kılıçkesmez received advanced training in interventional radiology and oncology as a Clinical Fellow at London Guy’s & St Thomas’ and King’s College Hospital between 2012 and 2013. He earned the title of Professor in 2020 and, in the same year, became the Founding Interventional Radiologist at SBÜ Çam and Sakura City Hospital. He also holds the EBIR (European Board of Interventional Radiology) certification.
Prof. Dr. Kılıçkesmez has 94 international and 40 national publications and over 2500 citations. He serves as a reviewer for prestigious journals such as the American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR) and Diagnostic & Interventional Radiology. With his clinical and academic expertise, he is a nationally and internationally recognized authority in stroke treatment, brain aneurysm, embolization, tumor ablation, and minimally invasive treatments of thyroid/parathyroid diseases.
