embolization treatment

Embolization is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to block abnormal blood vessels or blood flow to specific areas, such as tumors or bleeding sites. A doctor guides a thin tube called a catheter through the blood vessels to the target area, then releases small particles or coils to block the blood vessels. This helps reduce or stop problems like bleeding, tumors, or enlarged organs. The treatment is precise, reduces the need for open surgery, and typically involves fewer risks and a quicker recovery. It’s commonly used for conditions like fibroids, aneurysms, and bleeding injuries.
