Hemorrhoid Treatment – Superior Rectal Artery Embolization
Minimally Invasive Relief for Chronic Hemorrhoids
At RJIR Vascular & Oncology Center, we offer Superior Rectal Artery Embolization (SRAE)—a cutting-edge, minimally invasive procedure that provides long-term relief for chronic bleeding hemorrhoids without the need for surgery.
What is Superior Rectal Artery Embolization (SRAE)?
SRAE is an image-guided endovascular procedure that reduces blood flow to hemorrhoidal tissue, effectively shrinking and alleviating symptomatic internal hemorrhoids that cause chronic rectal bleeding, pain, and discomfort. This technique serves as an alternative to traditional hemorrhoidectomy or banding, offering faster recovery and fewer complications.
- No surgery or incisions
- Faster recovery than hemorrhoidectomy
- Reduced pain & bleeding
- Minimally invasive with no need for general anesthesia
Who is a Candidate for Hemorrhoid Embolization?
You may benefit from Superior Rectal Artery Embolization (SRAE) if you have:
- Chronic internal hemorrhoids that cause persistent rectal bleeding
- Failed previous treatments such as banding or topical medications
- Recurring hemorrhoids with significant symptoms
- Desire to avoid invasive surgery
How is the Procedure Performed?
At RJIR Vascular & Oncology Center, we use fluoroscopy and angiography guidance to precisely target the blood supply to the hemorrhoids:
- Local anesthesia and mild sedation are administered for patient comfort.
- A tiny catheter is inserted into the superior rectal artery through a small puncture in the wrist or groin.
- Microparticles are injected into the artery to reduce blood flow to the hemorrhoidal tissue
- Over time, the hemorrhoids shrink and symptoms improve.
Procedure Time: 30–60 minutes
Recovery: Patients typically go home the same day
What to Expect After the Procedure
- Significant reduction in bleeding within days
- Minimal discomfort compared to surgical treatments
- Gradual shrinkage of hemorrhoidal tissue over weeks
- Faster return to daily activities
Most patients experience long-term symptom relief, with lower recurrence rates than conventional treatments.
