Around 50% of all Americans will suffer from hemorrhoids at some point. When traditional treatments are ineffective, hemorrhoids can become chronic, leading to bleeding, itching, and painful bowel movements. This chronic condition can also result in further complications like blood clots, infection, and tissue damage.
Hemorrhoidal artery embolization (HAE) offers a new, minimally invasive approach to treating hemorrhoids. This safe and effective treatment provides results comparable to surgery, with the added benefits of significantly less discomfort and a faster recovery period.

An interventional radiologist (a specialized kind of doctor) uses live x-ray imaging to guide a small catheter inserted into a blood vessel in the wrist to the arteries supplying the hemorrhoids. A special type of coil is then inserted into these arteries to cut off the blood supply to the hemorrhoids, causing them to shrink.
