Abstract:Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was confirmed to be a respiratory infectious disease caused by a novel coronavirus,
which was named as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses. The
virus is spread mainly through respiratory droplets and close contact, and the susceptible population is generally susceptible. Patients
with COVID-19 may be complicated with chest pain (acute myocardial infarction), stroke, hemorrhage and other emergency diseases
during the epidemic period, and need digital subtraction angiography and interventional radiology urgently after comprehensive
evaluation of patients’ benefits and infection risks. Interventional operating room must do a good job in the work flow and protective
measures for patients with confirmed and suspected COVID-19 when necessary. In order to effectively reduce the risk of nosocomial
infection among interventional staff, and standardize the workflow in interventional radiology department, an expert group was
established from several designated hospitals for COVID-19 under the endeavor of Chinese Society of Imaging Technology, Chinese
Medical Association, and formulated the Expert Consensus on Interventional Surgery Process for Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia
patients and Infection Prevention and Control to guide the prevention and control of interventional treatment infection.
