Prostate artery embolization (PAE)

PAE is a non-surgical treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition that causes an enlarged prostate and urinary difficulties. Using real-time X-ray guidance, a small catheter is inserted into the artery supplying the prostate. Tiny particles are then injected to block blood flow, reducing the prostate’s size and relieving symptoms.

Genicular artery embolization

For those suffering from knee osteoarthritis, genicular artery embolization (GAE) provides relief by targeting the inflammation and abnormal blood vessel growth that contribute to chronic pain. A tiny catheter is placed into the knee’s blood vessels, and microscopic particles are injected to reduce inflammation and help the patient regain mobility while preserving the joint.

Hemorrhoid artery embolization

For those struggling with severe hemorrhoids, hemorrhoid artery embolization (HAE) offers a non-surgical alternative to hemorrhoidectomy. This procedure reduces blood flow to swollen hemorrhoidal tissue, shrinks the hemorrhoids, and alleviates discomfort. A small catheter is placed into the rectal arteries, and targeted embolization cuts off excess blood supply.

Uterine fibroid embolization

Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) is a highly effective alternative to hysterectomy for women with symptomatic uterine fibroids. A small catheter is threaded into the uterine arteries, and microspheres are injected to block blood flow to the fibroids, causing them to shrink. This minimally invasive approach preserves the uterus and allows for a fast recovery.

Adrenal embolization

Adrenal tumors and overactive adrenal glands can cause uncontrolled hormone production and severe health complications. Adrenal embolization precisely targets the arteries supplying the adrenal gland to reduce blood flow and shrink abnormal growths. This technique can help manage adrenal hyperplasia and hormone-secreting tumors without major surgery.

Thyroid embolization

For patients with enlarged thyroid nodules or overactive thyroid, embolization offers a minimally invasive way to shrink nodules and regulate hormone production. By inserting a small catheter into the thyroid’s blood supply and delivering embolic agents, interventional radiologists reduce the nodule’s size and improve symptoms like pressure and difficulty swallowing.

Peripheral arterial disease treatment

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) occurs when arteries in the legs become narrowed or blocked. Our interventional radiologists use techniques such as angioplasty, stenting, and atherectomy to restore blood flow, reduce pain, and prevent complications like limb amputation. These procedures improve circulation with minimal downtime, helping patients stay active.

Varicose vein treatment

Varicose veins result from damaged valves in the veins, leading to swelling, discomfort, and visible bulging veins. Interventional radiologists treat varicose veins using endovenous laser ablation (EVLA), radiofrequency ablation (RFA), and sclerotherapy. These procedures seal off diseased veins and reroute blood flow to healthier vessels.

Vascular malformation treatment

Vascular malformations are abnormal blood vessel networks that can cause pain, swelling, and functional issues. Our specialists use embolization techniques to shrink or block problematic vessels. Each treatment is customized based on the malformation’s size and location, offering a precise, minimally invasive approach for long-term relief.
