Interventional radiology in the thorax is somewhat illdefined, as nonvascular interventions such as lung biopsy tend to be more common. However, many nonvascular as well as vascular interventions are performed within thoracic structures, some of which, such as radiofrequency ablation of lung tumors, are gaining in importance.
