Embolization

Treatment for embolization in Hebbal, Bangalore

Embolisation Treatment in Hebbal, Bangalore is a minimally invasive procedure blocking the blood supply to a specific body area. It is often used to treat cancerous tumours or other abnormal growths. The procedure is performed by inserting a catheter into an artery and then injecting a material that will block the blood flow to the targeted area. This material can be a liquid, gel, or foam. Embolisation is often combined with other treatments, such as surgery or radiation therapy.  

  • Pre-Procedure  

There is no specific pre-procedure for embolisation. However, the doctor may order specific tests such as a CT scan or MRI to understand the blockage better. The doctor may order tests to check the patient's overall health and determine the best course of treatment. These tests may include blood tests, imaging tests, and angiography. The doctor may also ask the patient to fast for a few hours before the procedure.  

  • Procedure  

Embolisation is a minimally invasive procedure to impede or block blood vessels or blood flow to a certain body area. It is often used to treat cancer by cutting off the blood supply to a tumour. Embolisation can also treat aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and other vascular abnormalities. Interventional radiologists typically perform the procedure, with doctors specialising in using imaging to guide minimally invasive procedures. First, the interventional radiologist makes an incision in the skin and inserts a catheter, or small tube, into an artery. The catheter is then threaded through the artery to the site of the blood vessel that needs to be blocked. 

Once the catheter is in place, the interventional radiologist uses imaging to guide a small device, called an embolus, into the blood vessel. The embolus is then deployed, blocking the blood vessel. The procedure is then complete, and the patient is typically sent home the same day. There may be some discomfort at the site where the catheter was inserted, but this typically goes away quickly. You may also have some bruising. You can go home on the same day as the procedure. Your doctor will give you specific instructions on caring for the catheter's site. 

  • Post-procedure  

The procedure is considered complete when the contrast agent has dispersed and is no longer visible in the arteries. The patient is then taken to the recovery room, where they will be monitored for complications. Recovery from embolisation is typically quick. The patient may experience some bruising and soreness at the site of the catheter insertion, but this should resolve within a few days. More severe complications are rare but can include bleeding, infection, or damage to nearby organs. Book an appointment at Manipal Hospitals to know more about treatments with the help of best interventional radiology doctors in Hebbal, Bangalore.
