How Can an Interventional Radiologist Help You?
Performing minimally invasive procedures, Interventional Radiologists use image-guidance to make precise diagnosis and undertake targeted treatments, delivering improved patient outcomes. If you are experiencing an enlarged prostate, uterine fibroids, pulmonary embolism, varicoceles, infertility, chronic pelvic pain, consulting with an interventional radiologist may provide you with effective treatment options for you to consider. Two primary treatments include:
Prostate Artery Embolisation (PAE)
By reducing blood flow to the prostate, Interventional Radiologists are able to shrinkit and alleviating symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). This procedure reduces operation and recovery time, meaning patients can walk within minutes of the procedure..
Uterine Fibroid Embolisation/Uterine Artery Embolisation (UFE/UAE)
The HFE/UAE procedure is used to block the blood supply to the fibroids, causing them to shrink and relieving symptoms such as bleeding and pain.
