Explore image-guided treatments for selected musculoskeletal conditions, along with other embolization services. Evidence, availability and suitability vary by indication and clinical site.
A catheter-based treatment option for selected patients with knee osteoarthritis and persistent pain.
GAE targets selected arterial branches supplying inflamed synovial tissue in knee osteoarthritis. It is an evolving treatment option; candidacy, expected benefit, and evidence limitations should be reviewed with a clinician.
Ask about this treatment ↗Evaluation of targeted arterial embolization for selected patients with symptomatic hip osteoarthritis.
This remains an emerging intervention supported primarily by limited clinical studies. Hip joint pain should be distinguished from spine-related pain and lateral hip tendon or bursal conditions. Standard therapies and procedural risks should be discussed first.
Ask about hip OA ↗Potential embolization evaluation for refractory lateral hip pain, including conditions often labeled trochanteric bursitis.
Greater trochanteric pain syndrome may involve gluteal tendinopathy or tendon tears rather than isolated bursitis. Embolization is investigational in this setting, and accurate diagnosis and review of established treatments are essential.
Ask about lateral hip pain ↗An emerging catheter-based approach being studied for persistent plantar heel pain that has not responded to appropriate conservative care.
Clinical evidence remains limited; candidacy depends on confirming the source of pain and considering established treatment options.
Ask about plantar fasciitis ↗Shoulder artery embolization is under investigation as a treatment for selected patients with persistent pain and stiffness from adhesive capsulitis.
Evidence is evolving and the treatment is not established as a replacement for physical therapy, injections, or other standard options. A thorough shoulder evaluation is important.
Ask about frozen shoulder ↗A uterus-sparing approach for selected patients with symptomatic fibroids.
UFE reduces blood supply to fibroids and may improve bleeding and bulk-related symptoms. Fertility goals, imaging findings, and gynecologic evaluation are important in treatment selection.
Ask about this treatment ↗Image-guided treatment for appropriately selected patients with urinary symptoms from benign prostate enlargement.
PAE reduces blood supply to the enlarged prostate. A urologic assessment is important to evaluate symptoms, exclude other causes, and compare treatment options.
Ask about this treatment ↗Targeted evaluation and treatment of selected symptomatic pelvic venous disorders.
Pelvic venous disorders require careful correlation of symptoms and imaging; dilated veins alone do not establish the need for treatment.
Ask about this treatment ↗An emerging option for selected patients with symptomatic internal hemorrhoids, particularly bleeding.
Hemorrhoid artery embolization remains an emerging technique and is not appropriate for all hemorrhoidal symptoms. Appropriate anorectal evaluation is essential.
Ask about this treatment ↗Personalized evaluation and minimally invasive care for symptomatic varicose veins and superficial venous reflux.
Depending on ultrasound findings and clinical needs, treatment may include endovenous thermal ablation, ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy, or ambulatory phlebectomy. EmboQueens is developing a vein-care program in collaboration with Levy Aesthetics in Bellevue; consultations and procedures at this location are not yet listed as available.
Ask about vein care ↗Individualized evaluation of other conditions potentially amenable to embolization.
Additional embolization options depend on the condition, imaging, clinical evidence, and availability at a participating site.
