ABSTRACT

This study evaluates the effectiveness and adoption of modern interventional radiology (IR) techniques in treating vascular diseases within Saudi Arabia, aligning with the country’s Vision 2030 healthcare modernization goals. Using a comprehensive survey of 280 participants including healthcare professionals and patients across multiple regions and hospital types, the research assesses clinical outcomes such as success rates, complication rates, patient satisfaction, and recovery times. The study identifies key barriers to IR adoption, notably gaps in training and regional disparities, while highlighting the positive correlation between frequent IR use and improved patient outcomes. Statistical analyses including Mann-Whitney U tests, ANOVA, Chi-square tests, and logistic regression confirm significant associations between training, frequency of use, regional variation, and perceived effectiveness. The findings underscore the critical role of IR in advancing vascular care and provide evidence-based recommendations to enhance training, infrastructure, and policy support. This work contributes valuable insights into the current state of IR in Saudi Arabia and informs strategies for achieving equitable and high-quality vascular healthcare consistent with Vision 2030 objectives.
