Transcatheter arterial embolization is a procedure used to selectively block blood flow to certain areas, such as tumors, bleeding vessels, or malformations, by injecting embolic agents through a catheter. The procedure is minimally invasive and can be used to treat conditions like uterine fibroids, gastrointestinal bleeding, or liver tumors.
This procedure helps control bleeding, shrink tumors, or treat vascular malformations, offering a less invasive alternative to traditional surgery with a faster recovery time.
