Conditions we treat:
We offer a range of minimally-invasive procedures to address the underlying cause of your condition.
-
Prostate artery embolization (PAE) is a minimally invasive, image-guided procedure used to treat lower urinary tract symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). During PAE, an interventional radiologist accesses the arterial system—typically through a small puncture in the groin or wrist—and advances a microcatheter into the arteries that supply the prostate. Tiny embolic particles are then injected to selectively reduce blood flow to portions of the prostate, causing targeted shrinkage of prostate tissue and relief of urinary obstruction.
-
Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive, image-guided procedure used to treat symptomatic uterine fibroids—benign tumors that can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain or pressure, urinary frequency, and fertility concerns. During UFE, an interventional radiologist accesses the uterine arteries through a small arterial puncture (usually in the groin or wrist) and injects tiny particles to block blood flow to the fibroids. Deprived of blood, the fibroids shrink and symptoms typically improve.
-
Genicular artery embolization (GAE) is a minimally invasive, image-guided procedure used to reduce knee pain—most commonly from osteoarthritis—by deliberately blocking (embolizing) small blood vessels that supply the inflamed synovium and periarticular tissues of the knee. The goal is to decrease abnormal vascularity and the associated pain-generating inflammatory signals, thereby improving symptoms and function without open surgery.
-
Hemorrhoid artery embolization (HAE) is a minimally invasive endovascular procedure used to treat symptomatic internal hemorrhoids by reducing arterial blood flow to hemorrhoidal tissue. The technique aims to decrease bleeding, shrink hemorrhoidal cushions, and relieve symptoms such as rectal bleeding, prolapse, pain, and discomfort without excision of tissue.
-
Varicocele embolization is a minimally invasive, image-guided procedure used to treat varicoceles — enlarged veins in the scrotum (the pampiniform plexus) that can cause pain, testicular atrophy, or impaired fertility. The goal is to block abnormal blood flow through the affected veins so blood is redirected through healthy pathways, relieving symptoms and often improving semen parameters.
-
Venous leak embolization is a minimally invasive endovascular procedure used to treat erectile dysfunction caused by venous leak (veno-occlusive dysfunction). In venous leak, veins within the penis fail to adequately trap blood during erection, causing loss of rigidity. Embolization aims to occlude the specific leaking veins so blood is retained in the corpora cavernosa, improving erectile function.
