How Is Hemorrhoid Artery Embolization Performed?

A hemorrhoidal artery embolization involves blocking the artery that supplies blood to the affected area. The treatment is typically performed as an outpatient procedure in your doctor’s office with local anesthesia. It takes about an hour and doesn’t cause much discomfort.

The embolization procedure typically involves several steps, including:

1. Your interventional radiologist inserts a catheter into an artery in your groin.
2. The catheter is threaded to the artery supplying hemorrhoid.
3. Your doctor injects contrast dye into the artery.
4. Using fluoroscopy, the radiologist is able to identify the artery on real-time imaging.
5. The radiologist then blocks the blood flow to your hemorrhoid by injecting tiny particles of polyvinyl alcohol into the artery.

The procedure reduces the size and symptoms of your hemorrhoids. Once the procedure is complete, you’re discharged within a few hours. You return home with minimal discomfort. The treated hemorrhoid typically shrinks.

Hemorrhoid embolization is a highly effective, minimally invasive procedure that provides relief from the discomfort and pain associated with hemorrhoids. By targeting the blood vessels responsible for hemorrhoid formation, this treatment offers a long-lasting solution with minimal downtime.
