Embolization, Therapeutic
Embolization, Therapeutic is a medical procedure used to stop unhealthy blood flow to an area of the body by blocking off the blood vessels leading to it. It is used to treat a variety of medical conditions, such as bleeding, tumors, aneurysms, and malformations in the blood vessels. The procedure is minimally invasive, using a catheter and injections of tiny particles or foam to block off the vessels. Its effectiveness in treating these conditions makes it an invaluable tool in improving the health of patients. It can also be used to reduce symptoms of heavy menstrual flow and uterine fibroids. It is important to note that the procedure carries some potential risks, and it should always be discussed in detail with a health care provider before it is performed.
