Coiling & Embolization: Minimally Invasive Vascular Repair

How interventional specialists block abnormal blood vessels and stop bleeding without open surgery.

Embolization is a minimally invasive technique that blocks blood flow to specific areas—stopping bleeding, shrinking tumors, or treating vascular abnormalities. Instead of open surgery, we work through a tiny catheter inserted in a blood vessel.

What Is Embolization?

Embolization involves deliberately blocking blood vessels using various materials delivered through a catheter. By cutting off blood supply to targeted areas, we can:

Stop active bleeding
Shrink tumors
Prevent aneurysm rupture
Close abnormal connections

Common Uses

GI Bleeding

Stop bleeding from stomach ulcers, diverticulosis, or other gastrointestinal sources.

Liver Tumors

Chemoembolization delivers chemotherapy directly to liver tumors while blocking their blood supply.

Uterine Fibroids

Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) shrinks fibroids without surgery.

Varicocele

Block abnormal veins in the scrotum to improve fertility and reduce discomfort.

How the Procedure Works

1
Access: Small puncture in groin or wrist artery
2
Navigation: Catheter guided to target using X-ray imaging
3
Embolization: Blocking material (coils, particles, glue) delivered to close the vessel
4
Confirmation: Contrast injection confirms successful blockage

Benefits Over Surgery

No Large Incisions

Faster Recovery

Shorter Hospital Stay
