abstract = "Interventional radiology (IR) has a lot to offer acute care surgical patients in the intensive care unit. IR techniques are predicated on the use of a needle to access a body compartment, organ or vessel, followed by the use of a catheter to deliver an intervention. Such techniques can be used both as definitive management and also to bridge patients to alternative definitive management. Broadly, IR can be employed for the drainage of fluid collections as well as abdominal visceral and endovascular intervention. The use of IR procedures can reduce the overall physiological insult of intervention, but patients must be adequately resuscitated prior to any intervention in order to reduce complications.",
