Minimally invasive interventional radiological procedures can be invaluable in the care of neonates and infants. These procedures have proven to be useful in a wide variety of clinical situations, improving patient care, comfort and safety. Most techniques in adult interventional radiology have been adapted for use in pediatric patients, covering the spectrum of diagnostic and therapeutic intervention. Procedural techniques are similar, but require considerations of patient size, sedation, and support personnel in order to render optimal care. Proper physician training is imperative to provide the necessary confidence and expertise, and post-procedural follow-up is required to maximize positive outcomes. This paper discusses many of the procedures that may be performed in neonates, and offers suggestions and techniques for successful outcomes.
