Embolisation

Emboilization is primarily used to block or reduce blood flow to specific areas of the body. This procedure is employed to treat conditions such as aneurysms, tumors, uncontrolled bleeding, and vascular malformations, ultimately improving patient health and quality of life.

Emboilization is a minimally invasive procedure, involving small incisions and the introduction of embolic agents into blood vessels, while traditional surgery typically requires larger incisions and more extensive tissue manipulation. Emboilization often results in shorter recovery times and reduced infection risk compared to open surgery.

While generally safe, emboilization can carry risks such as infection, allergic reactions to embolic agents, damage to surrounding tissues, and blood vessel injury. It’s essential for patients to discuss these potential risks with their healthcare provider before undergoing the procedure.

Yes, emboilization can be used in conjunction with other medical treatments. For example, in cancer cases, it may complement chemotherapy or radiation therapy by reducing the blood supply to tumors, enhancing overall treatment effectiveness.

Recovery times can vary depending on the specific condition being treated and the patient’s overall health. However, emboilization often allows for a quicker recovery compared to traditional surgery. Some patients may be able to return to their normal activities within a few days, while others may require a longer recovery period. It’s essential to follow your healthcare provider’s post-procedure instructions for the best outcomes.
