Embolization for Bleeding Control
About the Procedure
Embolization for bleeding control is a life-saving minimally invasive procedure used to stop internal bleeding. Using image guidance, embolic materials are delivered through a catheter to block the bleeding vessel. It is commonly used in trauma, gastrointestinal bleeding, postpartum hemorrhage, and tumor-related bleeding. This technique offers rapid control without open surgery.
