Various Embolization Procedures
What is an Embolization Procedure?
Embolization is a minimally invasive treatment in which special materials are introduced through a thin catheter into specific blood vessels to block or reduce blood flow to abnormal tissues, tumors, or bleeding areas.
The procedure is performed using advanced imaging guidance, ensuring precision and safety.
Conditions Treated with Embolization
Embolization procedures are commonly used for:
- Uterine fibroids
- Enlarged prostate (BPH)
- Liver tumors
- Uncontrolled internal bleeding
- Vascular malformations (AVMs)
- Tumor blood supply reduction
- Gastrointestinal bleeding
- Trauma-related bleeding
How the Procedure is Performed
- Local anesthesia is given.
- A small catheter is inserted through a tiny skin puncture.
- Imaging guidance directs the catheter to target vessels.
- Embolic agents are injected to block blood flow.
- Catheter is removed and recovery begins.
No large incision is required.
