Benign kidney tumor called an AML treated with liquid embolization, a mixture of a sterile glue and poppy seed oil.
𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐌𝐋? A renal #angiomyolipoma “AML” is a benign tumor made of blood vessels, muscle cells and fat. Once they reach a certain size, they can burst causing life-threatening bleeding into the abdomen.
𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬? The gold standard treatment is non-surgical embolization, which cuts off its blood supply so that there is no risk of bleeding. This is performed by a board certified vascular and interventional radiologist.
𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧? This is a non-surgical treatment where a tiny IV sized catheter is advanced from the groin or wrist to the kidney. An embolic material is then injected blocking the blood flow to the tumor.
𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤𝐬? If not careful with these embolic agents, they can block the normal kidney tissue or go down into the legs or other organs during injection.

MRI images of the uterus before and after Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) for a prolapsing intracavitary fibroid.
Patient was told her only option was a hysterectomy 🤯 False!
Patient was treated by Dr Allaei with uterine fibroid embolization followed by hysteroscopic resection by GYN with resolution of symptoms 👍🏽 No hysterectomy required.
We do complex and straightforward fibroid treatments.
𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐢𝐝𝐬? Surgery is not the only option. Dr Allaei treats complex cases as well as UFE redos. Get it done right the first time with an experience board certified specialist.
The UFE procedure has been FDA approved and accepted as an effective alternative to surgery by the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology for over 20 years!!
Surgery is commonly reserved for cancer and emergencies, but it is still performed routinely for benign fibroids. If you a candidate for the UFE procedure, you do not need to have a surgery first approach.
✨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.

Congrats to the new mommy post Uterine Fibroid Embolization! 🥰🎉🥳 If this is you, please contact our office, we have a question for you 😃
There is a lot of misinformation given to patients by doctors who have never seen or performed a UFE procedure 😬 While the general recommendation is surgery over UFE for patients trying to conceive, this is based on a study 20 years ago on a small number of patients.
While there is no guarantee you will get pregnant, it does not mean you will not get pregnant post UFE. You need a thorough evaluation by a fibroid specialist to see if UFE is right for you. Surgery may also not be the best choice in some patients and leads to a lot of wasted fertility years.
𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐬 𝐔𝐅𝐄 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐝? A small IV sized catheter is advanced under a special X-ray machine from the wrist or groin to the uterus. Small beads are then injected through the catheter tip into the fibroids blocking their blood supply. This causes cellular death, which is then slowly removed by the body through its own natural process 👏🏼

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an outpatient non-surgical treatment for benign thyroid nodules. This innovative treatment is performed in our office with local numbing medication and is well tolerated. Patients walk out of the office with just a Band-Aid.
👍🏼No major incision or scar
👍🏻No stitches
👍🏾No major downtime
👍No surgical drains
👨🏻⚕️This treatment is performed by our advanced image-guided specialist that is trained in both ablation and thyroid embolization, and performs over 2000 ultrasound procedures yearly.
⛑️RFA has been around for over a decade and initially used by Interventional Radiologist for the treatment of cancers, such as the liver and lung. Interventional Radiologist now use microwave and cryoablation (freezing) for cancerous tumors. RFA however is well suited for the treatment of thyroid and parathyroid lesions.
🩺How does RFA work? A special probe is placed into the nodule using ultrasound guidance. This probe then heats up the tissue using a radiofrequency. The heated tissue then shrinks and dies over time similar to cancerous tumors treated with ablation in other organs.
🩺Successful outcome requires skill and experience in visualizing the thyroid in 3D while watching a 2D ultrasound image during the ablation 👨🏽⚕️Our Double Board Certified MD is specifically trained in ablation of soft tissue and bony tumors.

Patient was told by two independent GYNs that hysterectomy was the only option. Wrong! Find out your options by talking to our specialist who has treated hundreds of patients.
Did you know that women of color are 2x more likely to undergo hysterectomy for benign fibroids? We need to do better in offering less invasive treatments such as the UFE to all patients irregardless of skin color.
The UAE procedure is a non-surgical option that treats all fibroids and adenomyosis in one session through its blood supply.

Prostate artery embolization or PAE is a challenging embolization but an impactful procedure in Interventional Radiology for enlarged prostate symptoms and/or hematuria, blood in urine.
⭐️ 𝗪𝐡y is PAE the most 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 embolization? These arteries can be small with varying anatomy. Above demonstrates difficult bilateral origins from the obturator artery. There is also supply to the penis on the right. Regardless in appropriate hands it can be done well.
💡PAE is a relatively new non-surgical treatment option for an enlarged prostate or BPH. 𝗪𝐡𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐧𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞? Anyone that has a prostate!
Microparticles are placed into the prostate artery blocking the blood flow to the prostate gland causing it 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 and is now covered by their universal healthcare. “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.”
💡The American Urology Association considers PAE as experimental. Regardless, there are multiple studies showing it’s efficacy and safety, the treatment is FDA approved and currently covered by some insurance companies.

Don’t be a number at some fast food style medical center 👎🏽 It’s not about checking off boxes like corporate and hospital medicine has come to be
🙌🏽 It also helps that our doctor is the best at what he does!
Common unknown fact – the consultation and post op visits are just as important as the actual procedure. Some of the treatment failures can be attributed to centers that cut corners and don’t give these visits the attention to detail that they require.

MRI images of the uterus before and after Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE). 6 months later the fibroids have passed or significantly shrunken resulting in a normal size uterus and complete resolution of symptoms. Downside? No surgical battle scars to show for it 🙌🏽
𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐢𝐝𝐬? Surgery is not the only option. Contact us today. Our specialist treats complex cases as well as UFE redos. Get it done right the first time with an experience board certified specialist.
The UFE procedure has been FDA approved and accepted as an effective alternative to surgery by the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology for over 20 years!!
Surgery is commonly reserved for cancer and emergencies, but it is still performed routinely for benign fibroids. If you a candidate for the UFE procedure, you do not need to have a surgery first approach.
✨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.

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!!
Trans-Radial Uterine Fibroid Embolization #trUFE is the fibroid treatment with the smallest incision, which is less likely to leave any scarring behind. What is the difference between the traditional groin and the new radial UFE procedure? Read more here: https://cvifibroidcenter.com/
This safe procedure can even be performed on patients that are severely anemic or too high risk for surgery because of its safety, lack of operative blood loss and need for general anesthesia.

Benign kidney tumor called an AML treated with liquid embolization, a mixture of a sterile glue and poppy seed oil.
𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐌𝐋? A renal #angiomyolipoma “AML” is a benign tumor made of blood vessels, muscle cells and fat. Once they reach a certain size, they can burst causing life-threatening bleeding into the abdomen.
𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬? The gold standard treatment is non-surgical embolization, which cuts off its blood supply so that there is no risk of bleeding. This is performed by a board certified vascular and interventional radiologist.
𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧? This is a non-surgical treatment where a tiny IV sized catheter is advanced from the groin or wrist to the kidney. An embolic material is then injected blocking the blood flow to the tumor.
𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤𝐬? If not careful with these embolic agents, they can block the normal kidney tissue or go down into the legs or other organs during injection.

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.

Prostate artery embolization or PAE is a challenging but impactful procedure in Interventional Radiology for enlarged prostate symptoms and/or hematuria, blood in urine.
⭐️ 𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐏𝐀𝐄? PAE is the most challenging embolization as these arteries can be small with varying anatomy. Above demonstrates difficult bilateral origins from the obturator artery. There is also communication to the penis on the right.
💡PAE is a relatively new non-surgical treatment option for an enlarged prostate or BPH. 𝗪𝐡𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐧𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞? Anyone that has a prostate!
Microparticles are placed into the prostate artery blocking the blood flow to the prostate gland causing it 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 and is now covered by their universal healthcare. “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.”
💡The American Urology Association considers PAE as experimental. Regardless, there are multiple studies showing it’s efficacy and safety, the treatment is FDA approved and currently covered by some insurance companies.

Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) is a nonprofit, professional medical society representing more than 8,000 practicing physicians, trainees, medical students, scientists and clinical associates. The society’s core purpose and mission is to work with its members to deliver patient-centered care through image-guided therapy. By fostering creativity and innovation in a collaborative environment, clinical and research professionals freely exchange ideas to find inspired solutions to patient care.

𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲?
Interventional radiology (also known as IR) is a specialty that pioneered minimally invasive treatments as an alternative to open surgery for many medical conditions.
Through a tiny incision in your skin the interventional radiologist can deliver precise, targeted treatment to complex and sometimes life-threatening diseases and conditions.
Dr. Charles Dotter is regarded as the father of interventional radiology. From developing the automated x-ray rolling film, the interventional catheter, and the percutaneous angioplasty (to name a few), his contributions and collaborations have revolutionized medical treatments and the quality of care that is provided today.

Elderly patient with severe pelvic pain after a fall brought to the ER and found to have a right sacral fracture.
𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐦?
The sacrum is an important bone in the back of the pelvis between the hip bones. A sacral fracture can be debilitating and patients have a hard time even sitting.
A non-surgical procedure called Sacroplasty was performed and she was able to sit again without pain 😃🙏
𝗪𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐫? As we age bones lose density and become more fragile. As they say, use it or lose it. Make sure to always exercise and keep that muscle mass!
𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐒𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐲?
This is an image-guided procedure where a needle is placed into the fractured bone under image-guidance, in this case CT. Then a cement like material is administered into the bone, hardening and providing support 💪🏽. This requires no stitches or major incisions, and can be done with moderate sedation.
🔍Commonly patients are discharged home with pain medication, but other options exist! Make sure to ask for a second opinion from an Interventional Radiologist

Patient with cancer being treated with an outpatient non-surgical microwave ablation procedure.
𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧? A special probe is placed in the cancer. The microwave energy is applied, heating and destroying the cancer. A few minutes later the patient is cancer free 👏🏼 Ablation can be performed using heat, cold or other energy source.
There are two types of needles involved in the treatment above.
1️⃣ Ablation probe to destroy cancer cells
2️⃣ Long needle to infuse sterile fluid and air. This displaces and prevents ablation of adjacent organs
No general anesthesia risks 👍🏽
No stitches 👍🏻
No major scar 👍🏼
1 day recovery 👍🏿

MRI images of the uterus before and after Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE). 6 months later the fibroids have passed or significantly shrunken resulting in a normal size uterus and complete resolution of symptoms. Downside? No surgical battle scars to show for it 🙌🏽
𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐢𝐝𝐬? Surgery is not the only option. Dr Allaei treats complex cases as well as UFE redos. Get it done right the first time with an experience board certified specialist.
The UFE procedure has been FDA approved and accepted as an effective alternative to surgery by the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology for over 20 years!!
Surgery is commonly reserved for cancer and emergencies, but it is still performed routinely for benign fibroids. If you a candidate for the UFE procedure, you do not need to have a surgery first approach.
✨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.

Before and After IPSS scores of a patient who had Prostate Artery Embolization, PAE. These scores help determine the severity of patients prostate symptoms, the higher the number the worse the situation.
Prior to the PAE procedure the prostate had grown so large that the patient had to place a catheter daily into the bladder to drain the urine. 3 months after PAE he was able to urinate on his own without a catheter 👏🏼👏🏼 Not having to place a catheter through the penis daily = happy camper 🤗
𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐏𝐀𝐄? PAE is a non-surgical, challenging but impactful procedure for enlarged prostates, bleeding prostates and chronic prostate inflammation.
⭐️One guarantee in life is that a man’s prostate will grow.
⭐️PAE is one option if the large prostate causes symptoms.
𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤? Through a tiny tube microparticles are placed into the prostate artery blocking the blood flow to the prostate gland causing it to shrink in size and improve symptoms.
💡In 2018 the UK-NIH concluded that PAE is safe and effective to provide to patients with big prostates and is now covered by their universal healthcare. “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.”
💡The American Urology Association considers PAE as experimental. Regardless, there are multiple studies showing it’s efficacy and safety, the treatment is FDA approved and currently covered by some insurance companies.

These are tiny loops of soft metal, typically made of platinum. The purpose of a coil is to block the flow of blood 🩸
They come in different size loops, lengths, and strengths depending on the vessel being deployed in. These coils are specially packed in a tiny tube and come out of the catheter tip to allow for proper placement.
⚠️ Appropriate sizing is essential to make sure they have a nice fit in their new home, your blood vessel 🙃
𝗪𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝? These coils are used to close certain type of aneurysms in the brain and body, stop bleeding, help with tumor treatment, and other more specialized procedures such as varicocele and pelvic congestion treatment.
𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧? The blockage of blood flow is termed embolization.
𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐞? Through a small nick in the skin in the groin, neck or wrist, a tiny catheter is guided under X-rays into the blood vessel of interest where the coils are deployed.
𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞? Liquids, foam, plugs, coils, spherical, non-spherical particles can be used for embolizations depending on the situation.
𝐌𝐚𝐣𝐨𝐫 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐧-𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. This occurs when embolic material goes into unintended vessels 🚨For example, if the coil is not fitted or placed properly it can dislodge and fly down the leg or into other organs 😳while in some situation this can be corrected, proper technique and planning can prevent this from ever happening 😎

Prostate artery embolization or PAE is a challenging but impactful procedure in Interventional Radiology for BPH symptoms and/or hematuria, blood in urine.
⭐️ While this is a low risk procedure, the biggest risk is non-target embolization of beads into organs outside of the prostate. In the above case there is communication of the prostate artery with the penis. A good procedural evaluation can identify these communicating branches so that they can be closed off before the administration of beads.
💡PAE is a relatively new non-surgical treatment option for an enlarged prostate or BPH. Microparticles are placed into the prostate artery blocking the blood flow to the prostate gland causing it 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 and is now covered by their universal healthcare. “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.”
💡The American Urology Association considers PAE as experimental. Regardless, there are multiple studies showing it’s efficacy and safety, the treatment is FDA approved and currently covered by some insurance companies.
