Embolization Procedures

Embolization is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to block blood flow to specific areas in the body. It is often employed to treat conditions like tumors, vascular malformations, or excessive bleeding. During the procedure, a doctor inserts a small catheter into a blood vessel and guides it to the target area. They then release materials, such as tiny beads or coils, which clog the blood vessels and stop blood supply to the problematic area. This can help shrink tumors, manage bleeding, or reduce blood flow to certain tissues, aiding in recovery or symptom relief.
