• Varicocele embolization: A non-surgical treatment for enlarged veins in the scrotum that can cause pain, swelling, or fertility issues, improving both comfort and reproductive health.
• Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) evaluations and treatment: Comprehensive diagnostic testing and minimally invasive procedures to restore healthy blood flow and reduce leg pain or cramping.
• Transarterial elbow embolization (TAE) for golfer’s and tennis elbow: A precise image-guided technique that reduces chronic elbow pain by blocking abnormal blood vessels causing inflammation.

• Varicose and spider veins:Enlarged or damaged veins that appear raised or discolored, often causing leg pain, heaviness, or visible web-like clusters on the skin.
• Chronic venous insufficiency:A condition in which the veins struggle to send blood from the legs back to the heart, leading to swelling, aching, skin changes, and fatigue.
• Peripheral artery disease (PAD): A circulatory disorder caused by narrowed or blocked arteries that reduce blood flow to the legs, resulting in pain, cramping, or slow-healing wounds.
• Uterine fibroids:Noncancerous growths that develop in the uterus and can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure in the lower abdomen.
• Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH):A noncancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that can lead to frequent urination, weak urine flow, or difficulty emptying the bladder.
• Hemorrhoids:Swollen veins in the lower rectum or anus that may cause discomfort, itching, bleeding, or pain during bowel movements.
• Chronic knee pain:Persistent inflammation or stiffness in the knee joint, often due to osteoarthritis or overuse, that limits mobility and daily activity.
• Golfer’s elbow:A painful condition affecting the tendons on the inner side of the elbow, usually caused by repetitive wrist or forearm motion.
• Tennis elbow:Similar to golfer’s elbow but affecting the outer side of the elbow, resulting from overuse of the forearm muscles and tendons.
• Plantar fasciitis:Inflammation of the thick band of tissue on the bottom of the foot, causing sharp heel pain that’s often worse in the morning.
