The field of pediatric interventional radiology encompasses the treatment of a broad range of patients. Whether treating a premature infant who weighs less than 1 kg or treating an adult-sized teenager who weighs more than 100 kg, the innovative skills of the interventional radiologist are required to adapt equipment designed for adult patients, to meet the needs of children. Moreover, children cannot be treated simply as small adults owing to a number of factors, including differences in physiology, disease processes, and treatment techniques between pediatric and adult patients. In this article, the unique medical needs of children are highlighted, noting specific areas the interventional radiologist should be aware of when treating patients of all ages. Specific focus is placed on the unique considerations related to children in terms of their periprocedural needs and the procedural modifications required for routine pediatric procedures, with specific diseases of the liver, chest, and musculoskeletal system highlighted. The broader topic of vascular anomalies, although an important part of pediatric interventional radiology, was intentionally excluded to highlight some of the lesser-known procedures performed. ©RSNA, 2022.
