Texas Endovascular treats uterine fibroids, varicose veins and vein disease, peripheral artery disease (PAD), enlarged prostate (BPH), hemorrhoids, and chronic joint pain in the knee, shoulder, elbow and foot. All are treated by the same specialty, interventional radiology, using embolization and other image-guided procedures through a pinhole rather than open surgery.

Interventional radiology, or IR, is a medical specialty that treats conditions through a pinhole using real-time imaging for guidance, rather than through a surgical incision. Embolization, the technique behind most treatments here, works by blocking the blood supply that feeds the problem. Because there is no open surgery, most procedures are outpatient and recovery is measured in days instead of weeks.

Candidacy depends on your imaging, symptom severity and medical history, and is confirmed at a consultation. Our condition quizzes give you a preliminary answer in about two minutes. Most adults with symptoms from these conditions are candidates, including patients who have been told surgery is their only option. 

Most Texas Endovascular patients go home within a few hours and return to light activity in one to three days. Full recovery varies by procedure, but it is typically much shorter than recovery from surgery, which can take several weeks.

Cost depends on the procedure, your insurance plan and where you are in your deductible year. Texas Endovascular verifies your benefits and gives you a written estimate before anything is scheduled.

Most patients can schedule directly with Texas Endovascular without a physician referral. Some insurance plans, particularly HMOs, do require one. Our scheduling team confirms your plan's requirements when you call.
