It is imperative to ensure the safety of health-care workers in the angiographic room during the outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The selection criteria for interventional radiology (IR) procedures, the preparation of the staff and angiographic suite, ventilation systems, and intra- and post-procedural workflow optimization methods are detailed. The specific measures needed to protect occupational safety and health may result in higher costs, longer procedural times, and greater technical problems. However, these precautions may help to minimize the spread of COVID-19 among IR practitioners.
