Uterine Fibroids

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the uterus that can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure on surrounding organs. They are most common in women of reproductive age. Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive treatment that shrinks fibroids by cutting off their blood supply, providing long-term relief without surgery.

Chronic Knee Pain

Chronic knee pain can result from osteoarthritis, injuries, or inflammatory conditions, leading to persistent discomfort, stiffness, and limited mobility. Non-surgical treatments like Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) help relieve pain by reducing inflammation in the knee joint, offering a non-invasive alternative to knee replacement surgery.

Venous Diseases

Venous diseases affect the veins and blood circulation, leading to conditions such as varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). These conditions can cause leg pain, swelling, skin discoloration, and ulcers. Treatments like sclerotherapy, endovenous laser therapy (EVLT), and venous embolization can improve circulation and relieve symptoms.

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)

PAD occurs when narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the limbs, leading to leg pain, cramping, and difficulty walking. This condition increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Minimally invasive procedures like angioplasty and arterial embolization help restore proper circulation and prevent serious complications.

Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy is nerve damage that leads to numbness, tingling, burning pain, and weakness in the hands and feet. It can be caused by diabetes, infections, or circulatory issues. Treatments focus on improving blood flow, reducing nerve inflammation, and managing symptoms to improve overall function and quality of life.

Chronic Shoulder Pain

Chronic shoulder pain is often caused by arthritis, rotator cuff injuries, frozen shoulder, or bursitis, leading to limited movement, stiffness, and ongoing discomfort. Interventional radiology (IR) treatments, such as embolization therapy and radiofrequency ablation (RFA), provide pain relief and restore mobility without major surgery.

Chronic Hemorrhoids

Chronic hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the rectum or anus that cause pain, itching, and rectal bleeding. If left untreated, they can lead to severe discomfort and complications. Hemorrhoidal Artery Embolization (HAE) is a non-surgical procedure that reduces hemorrhoid symptoms by cutting off excess blood flow to the affected veins.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

BPH is non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that leads to urinary difficulties such as frequent urination, weak stream, and incomplete bladder emptying. Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE) is an effective, minimally invasive treatment that shrinks the prostate and relieves symptoms without surgery.

Minimally Invasive Vascular Treatments

Advancements in interventional radiology offer non-surgical solutions for many of these vascular conditions. Procedures like embolization therapy, radiofrequency ablation, and angioplasty provide effective relief with shorter recovery times and fewer complications compared to traditional surgery.

If you are experiencing symptoms of any of these conditions, schedule a consultation to explore minimally invasive treatment options that can help restore your health and improve your quality of life.
