A broad range of vascular and non-vascular IR is performed at Southend. This includes peripheral angioplasty and stenting with the option to perform complex vascular intervention including BTK cases at the Basildon vascular hub in conjunction with a Southend vascular colleague.

Arterial embolization is performed for acute haemorrhage, but also for palliation (Southend site is the regional cancer centre). Uterine artery embolization is performed, patients stay overnight under the care of gynaecology but is currently subject to case-by-case approval due to the local Service Restriction Policy, but applications are done by gynaecology and are usually successful. Venous work includes fistuloplasty, IVC filter placement and retrieval, varicocoele and pelvic vein embolization.

There is also a good volume of non-vascular intervention. Southend hosts urological cancer surgery for 5 hospital sites across South, Mid and East Essex.
