Having Your Drainage Catheter Inserted

Your drainage catheter will be inserted by an interventional radiologist. An interventional radiologist is a doctor who specializes in image-guided procedures.

The procedure usually takes less than 1 hour. Your interventional radiologist will explain the procedure to you and give you time to ask any questions before you sign a consent form.

After the procedure, your catheter will be attached to a bag to collect the drainage. Your doctor will give you an idea of how much drainage you should expect.

Often, drainage catheters are placed urgently when you are sick. In some cases though, you will be scheduled to come into the hospital for the procedure. If this is the case, follow the guidelines below.
