We were requested to perform IVR for uterine artery embolotherapy of a patient who was unable to take the decubitus position. Because of extreme overweight, the patient was limited to a sitting posture on a bed in the living environment. Therefore, a device to support her sitting posture on the IVR patient table was designed and created. The support device was used to hold the patient's body in a half-sitting posture and distribute her weight load appropriately so that the weight load applied to the patient's body could be minimized. Using this support device, IVR could be performed smoothly during a period of 2 hours 40 minutes.
