🌍 I recently visited the IR Clinic in Tokyo, Japan where a lot of papers on joint embolization originated. Medicine requires an ongoing commitment to learning to ensure that our patients receive the most advanced care available.
Millions of people live with chronic joint and tendon pain — from frozen shoulder that limits daily activity, to knee arthritis that makes every step hurt, to plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendinopathy that stop you from staying active. For years, the main options were medications, injections, or surgery. But now there’s another path: embolization.
👩⚕️ What is embolization?
Embolization is a minimally invasive procedure performed by an Interventional Radiologist. Using advanced imaging, a catheter is guided through a tiny pinhole in the wrist or groin into the blood vessels that supply the painful area. Dissolvable particles are released to block the abnormal blood flow that fuels pain and inflammation — all while sparing healthy tissue.
✨ Patients go home the same day. No stitches. Less downtime. No large incisions. Just targeted treatment and lasting relief.
✅ Conditions that can benefit:
• Frozen shoulder → better motion and pain relief
• Knee arthritis → less pain, more mobility, fewer surgeries
• Plantar fasciitis → relief from stubborn heel pain when other therapies fail
• Achilles tendinopathy → reduced pain and improved tendon function
📲 No need for you to go to Japan. We have been doing these treatments here in Los Angeles. Contact today to learn if embolization could be the solution for you

However, there are many factors that go into this decision and that’s why it’s important to have a consultation with an experienced physician. Make an appointment to see what results you can expect and avoid major surgery.
The UFE procedure is a non-surgical option that treats all fibroids in one session through its blood supply. This FDA approved treatment has been accepted as an effective alternative to surgery by the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology and has been around for over 20 years!!
✨Over 90% of patients and millions worldwide have been treated successfully.
✨Can be performed through the arm (trans-radial), which can be much more comfortable and low risk for patients.
💉Surgery is not your only option. Don’t wait until your fibroids grow even larger.

Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS) is a hidden but very real cause of chronic pelvic pain in women. It happens when varicose veins develop around the uterus and ovaries.
💡 This patient underwent a non-surgical treatment called Pelvic Vein Embolization — where we use tiny coils and a sclerosant foam to close off those abnormal veins.
📈 Studies show embolization can significantly reduce pain and improve quality of life for women with PCS.
💜 What is Pelvic Congestion Syndrome?
• Varicose veins of the pelvis (like varicose veins in the legs, but around the ovaries/uterus).
• Occurs in up to 15% of women, especially those with multiple pregnancies.
• Symptoms: chronic pelvic pain 😣, heaviness, pain worse after standing, during/after sex, or around periods.
✨ Why Embolization?
• Outpatient procedure ✔️
• No stitches, no big incision ✔️
• No general anesthesia ✔️
• Quick recovery ✔️
• Walk out with just a Band-Aid 👏
👉 If you have chronic pelvic pain that hasn’t been explained, ask about pelvic congestion

Not every day in medicine is easy. There are times we must deliver heartbreaking news, and those moments weigh heavily. 💔
But then there are days like this — when we get to see hope fulfilled. 🌟 Three years ago, I performed a Fallopian Tube Recanalization (FTR) procedure that helped restore a patient’s fertility. Today, I had the privilege of meeting her beautiful 2.5-year-old son as a result of that journey.
Moments like these remind me why I chose this path — and they give strength to carry patients through the most difficult conversations.
✨ About FTR
A minimally invasive procedure that reopens blocked fallopian tubes using X-ray guidance and fine instruments, often allowing women to conceive naturally without major surgery.
These stories keep us going. 💙

This is the fluid that was removed from a large spermatocele that was putting major pressure on the testicle and scrotum — essentially like carrying around an oversized breast implant in the scrotum stretching out the skin 😳 This was almost 2 liters.
If you’re suffering from a large or painful cyst and want to avoid surgery:
✨ Aspiration + Sclerotherapy ✨
No incisions. No stitches. No downtime. 🙌
𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐞?
A spermatocele is a fluid-filled cyst in the scrotum, often containing sperm and clear or milky fluid. It usually forms from a blockage in the epididymal tubes. Though typically benign, large ones can cause discomfort, swelling, or even pain.
𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:
✅ Surgical removal
✅ OR a non-surgical aspiration & sclerotherapy – done right in the office with no downtime

MRI of a patient with painful and heavy cycles 👉The adenomyosis caused a 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐭 portion of her symptoms but was 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 by both the prior ultrasound and the MRI report.
MRI images were reviewed by Dr Allaei who treated both the fibroids and adenomyosis with the non-surgical uterine artery embolization 🌟 3 month later the patient had normal cycles and did not need surgery 👏🏼
𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐬?
🌟If the patient went for fibroid surgery, the surgeon would not have been able to remove the adenomyosis. The patient would have been left with significant symptoms and after failed surgery may have elected for hysterectomy.
🌟If the patient had embolization for fibroids and not the adenomyosis, the results would have been suboptimal.
𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐟𝐢𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐢𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐲𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐔𝐀𝐄? Yes! However this requires the proper diagnosis so that the right size particles can be used.

Prostate artery embolization or PAE is an innovative impactful procedure performed only by Vascular and Interventional Radiologist for enlarged prostate symptoms and/or hematuria, blood in urine. 𝗪𝐡𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐧𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞? Anyone that has a prostate!
⭐️ How does embolization shrink tissue? Embolization removes blood flow from tissue. Just like how plants die without water, it is the same with tissues and organs that rely on blood flow.
Microparticles are placed into the prostate artery which flow into the prostate tissue blocking the blood flow. This causes the prostate to shrink in size and improve symptoms.
💡In 2018 the UK-NIH concluded that PAE is safe and effective to provide to patients with BPH: “The safety profile and quicker return to normal activities may be seen as highly beneficial by patients considering PAE as an alternative treatment to TURP … place of PAE in the care pathway is between that of drugs and surgery.”
💡Clinical success was reported as 85.1% at short-term follow-up (12 months), 81.9% at medium-term follow-up (1-3 years), and 76.3% at long-term follow-up (3–6.5 years). The treatment is now FDA approved and currently covered by some insurance companies.

𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐲𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐬? This is essentially endometriosis of the uterus. The lining called the endometrium thickens and grows into the muscle of the uterus. As the condition worsens the uterus gets larger and cysts start forming in the uterine tissues as shown on the MRI.
𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬? Non-surgical UAE is an alternative treatment option to hysterectomy helping to preserve the uterus.

Ever wonder about alternative, unique and new treatments your doctor may not know about? Dr Allaei speaks to LA Health & Me about the alternative treatment options in medicine that both doctors and patients may not be aware of.
Image-guided treatments both new and routine have immense impact on outcomes by either preventing surgery or providing a solution where there is none. In order to improve access to care, spreading awareness on the specialty of image-guided procedures, known as Vascular & Interventional Radiology, is key.

𝐂𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐕𝐓: Cancer, COVID, immobility (long plane ride eg), birth control, surgery, injury, pregnancy, age, genetics, smoking, vascular disorders and others.
𝐃𝐕𝐓 𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: In severe cases a Vascular & Interventional Radiologist is consulted to perform thrombectomty as in the case here. A large catheter was placed into the leg and the blood clots were aspirated out.
𝐃𝐕𝐓 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐤𝐬: The problem with a DVT is that it blocks the return of blood from the limb, this results in swelling and pain, and when severe this can lead to loss of the limb. If the DVT is large enough it will also break loose and go to the heart 😮 which may require thrombectomy as well.
On a long plane or car ride? Stand up and walk around or flex the calf muscles occasionally minimizing your risk.

Non-surgical gallstone removal in a surgical candidate. Posted with permission.
The gold standard treatment for gallstone pain is removal of the gallbladder. What if the patient wants to keep the gallbladder to maintain its function? 🤔
Non-surgical gallstone removal was performed in this situation with laser and stone extraction leaving a clean gallbladder behind 🤗
Typically, gallstone removal is done on patients who are too high risk for surgery (older, heart issues, anesthesia risk..) but now being offered to surgical candidates.
Downside of stone removal over surgery:
May require multiple visits 😕
Gallstone recurrence possible 🫤
Make sure to seek out a Vascular & Interventional Radiologist who is experienced in gallstone removal techniques.
