Interventional radiology (IR) involves the use of contemporary imaging modalities, such as radiography, fluoroscopy and computed tomography (CT) to gain access to specific structures in order to deliver different materials for therapeutic purposes. These techniques are routinely used in human medicine; despite potential applications, however, these procedures have not yet been widely adopted in veterinary medicine. This chapter focuses on the use of IR techniques for tracheal diseases. The following are discussed: General indications; Equipment; Tracheal collapse; Malignant or benign airway obstruction; Tracheal foreign bodies.
