    PROCEDURES

    Target Treatment Through Embolotherapy

    Embolotherapy is a minimally invasive technique used to selectively block blood vessels, effectively treating a range of conditions including tumors, vascular malformations, aneurysms, and acute hemorrhage. Performed by interventional radiologists under image guidance, this procedure delivers embolic agents—such as microspheres, coils, or gels—directly to the target site, preserving healthy surrounding tissue.

    In oncology, embolotherapy plays a critical role in transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and radioembolization, where it helps shrink or control tumor growth. For trauma or gastrointestinal bleeding, it provides rapid hemostasis, often eliminating the need for open surgery. With a growing body of evidence supporting its safety, efficacy, and shorter recovery times, embolotherapy continues to expand across clinical disciplines as a cornerstone of modern interventional care.
