Kings College Hospital

King’s College Hospital in Denmark Hill, London, is a major NHS teaching hospital and one of London’s key adult and children Major Trauma Centres. It serves local areas and acts as a tertiary referral centre for much of southern England. The hospital is a cornerstone of King’s Health Partners and closely affiliated with King’s College London, offering a broad spectrum of specialist services, including neurosciences and neurosurgery

the interventional Neuroradiology at King’s treats complex vascular conditions of the head, neck, brain, and spine using image-guided techniques. These include treating cerebral aneurysm, retrieving clots in stroke patients via mechanical thrombectomy; embolising brain, head and neck tumours; managing arteriovenous malformations and fistulas; treating carotid artery and intracranial stenoses; placing venous stents for symptom relief; and addressing subdural haemorrhage and nosebleeds using embolisation. The service also performs critical diagnostic procedures, such as cerebral angiography, myelography, lumbar puncture, amytal testing, and test occlusion.

As one of the UK’s most established interventional neuroradiology programmes, King’s handles substantial caseloads—performing approximately 150–200 mechanical thrombectomies and a similar number of aneurysm treatments each year—and contributes actively to research and clinical trials that shape neurovascular practice globally. The service is supported by a multidisciplinary infrastructure, including a modern biplane angiography suite, and collaborates closely with neurosurgeons, neurologists, stroke physicians, intensive care teams, anaesthetists, and specialist nurses to ensure comprehensive, patient-centred care
