Abstract
Interventional radiologists employ a wide variety of drugs on a daily basis to improve patient experiences and outcomes during interventional procedures. The expectation is for the interventionalist to be well-versed in all pharmaceuticals used in the interventional suite. In this article, the authors review the following classes of common miscellaneous pharmaceutical agents used in interventional radiology: vasodilators, vasoconstrictors, antiemetics, bowel antiperistalsis agents, and prothrombotics.
