Dr. Aparna Baheti
Dr. Aparna Baheti is a practicing Interventional Radiologist in Tacoma, Washington.
Synopsis
Dr. Sheeran highlights the importance of imaging-based diagnostics, particularly with MRI, to identify the source of bleeding and guide therapy. He also explains the need to employ a variety of techniques tailored towards each individual situation, which may involve utilizing different types of catheters, occlusion balloons, and embolics. He underlines the necessity to balance effective treatment with the preservation of uterine health, especially for women who may wish to have future pregnancies. In severe cases, he mentions the possibility of temporary aortic occlusion. As a final point, Dr. Sheeran argues that Interventional Radiology can play a crucial role in managing these types of cases and potentially avoiding hysterectomies.
