CIRSE’s patient information leaflets are designed to inform patients in plain English what they can expect to experience before, during and after several common interventional procedures. From the leaflets, patients can learn

  • the purpose of the procedure
  • how they will benefit from the procedure
  • what preparations they should take in advance
  • what to expect during the procedure
  • any risks they should be aware of
  • what the follow-up plan after the procedure will look like

Sharable web PDFs for twelve common procedures are listed below. If you would like to print the full set of leaflets for sharing or display, documents containing all twelve leaflets are also available in both colour and black and white versions.
