Procedure nurses and surgical assistants work directly and only in the operating rooms and see first hand the skills and personality of a physician while patients are asleep. They have a unique perspective as they work with many different physicians in this setting. They are however not reachable by patients as they work outside the clinic space and doctor’s office.
So we bring them to you..

CIRSE – Largest European conference of Vascular & Interventional Radiologists
Dr Allaei attends international conferences to hear about upcoming treatments not available in the USA, new techniques, as well as latest research study results
Some interesting topics presented:
⭐️Latest GAE Data for Knee Arthritis
⭐️UFE and Fertility
⭐️Hemorrhoid Embolization
⭐️Thyroid ablation modalities and TAE
⭐️Embolization for other musculoskeletal issues
*Bonus video on temporary embolic agent.
We only use RFA for thyroid ablation due to the dangers and limitations of other modalities.
We also use a temporary embolic material for joint embolization to increase safety and prevent injury to other tissues.
Did you know olympians received embolization for chronic joint inflammation?

Medical doctors with 6 years of post medical school training who have specialized in both diagnostic imaging and minimally invasive therapies. This is the only specialty in medicine that is board certified and trained in performing embolization and ablation procedures either through blood vessels or directly through a tiny incision in the skin.
Through a tiny incision in your skin the interventional radiologist can deliver precise, targeted treatment to complex and sometimes life-threatening diseases and conditions.

The UFE procedure is a non-surgical option that treats all fibroids and adenomyosis 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!!
Can you be a candidate? Candidacy will be determined by our specialists after reviewing your imaging, medical history and symptoms. This procedure is only performed by an experienced Vascular and Interventional Radiologists and is not certified to be performed by any other specialist.
What is embolization? Embolization is a non-surgical treatment using the body’s own path to stop blood flow and has been around for many decades! This procedure is routinely performed in the brain for aneurysms/strokes, body after trauma/bleeding, cancers, tumors, pain, inflammation and many others.
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.

How many fibroids are too many for the UFE? The short answer is there is no maximum number. Patients who are looking to preserve their uterus and have too many fibroids are ideal candidates for the UFE procedure.

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.

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.

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 👏🏼

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.

Large bile stone that could not be accessed by traditional methods. A tiny camera is introduced through the liver into the bile duct. The mobile stone can sometimes be floating around. After securing the stone, Dr Allaei then proctors new partner on using laser to fragment the stone.
Most stones are removed by a Gastroenterologist doctor. However, sometimes due to surgery or anatomy this traditional method is not possible. By working together our IR and GI team can tackle these complex situations with minimally invasive solutions.

𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐃𝐕𝐓 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞? This is a blood clot pulled out of a leg 🤯 also called Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT).
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.

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.

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

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.

📓The techniques, medications, supplies, and procedures offered can vary by country. As such, research studies are published from around the world and the exchange of these ideas and techniques is essential to providing the best care 🙌🏽
📓After hearing Dr. Okuno’s research results at a conference, he graciously allowed me to visit his clinic in Tokyo to observe first hand his pioneering techniques on treating
musculoskeletal pain with embolization 🙏
Embolization (the blockage of 🩸blood flow) has shown great results in the treatment of knee arthritis and frozen shoulder 👏🏼 We can expect more applications to come soon as this therapy is already being offered for a variety of musculoskeletal issues outside the US.
💡Medicine is always changing and there is something to be learned from everyone. To be the best, one cannot practice in isolation.
💡A physician who has 20 years of experience doing the same thing without keeping up with the science or their peers isn’t delivering the best care.

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.

Large bile stone that could not be accessed by traditional methods. A tiny camera is introduced through the liver into the bile duct. The mobile stone can sometimes be floating around. After securing the stone, Dr Allaei then proctors new partner on using laser to fragment the stone.
Most stones are removed by a Gastroenterologist doctor. However, sometimes due to surgery or anatomy this traditional method is not possible. By working together our IR and GI team can tackle these complex situations with minimally invasive solutions.

𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐃𝐕𝐓 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞? This is a blood clot pulled out of a leg 🤯 also called Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT).
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.

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.

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

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.

Large bile stone that could not be accessed by traditional methods. A tiny camera is introduced through the liver into the bile duct. The mobile stone can sometimes be floating around. After securing the stone, Dr Allaei then proctors new partner on using laser to fragment the stone.
Most stones are removed by a Gastroenterologist doctor. However, sometimes due to surgery or anatomy this traditional method is not possible. By working together our IR and GI team can tackle these complex situations with minimally invasive solutions.

𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐃𝐕𝐓 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞? This is a blood clot pulled out of a leg 🤯 also called Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT).
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.

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.

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

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.

📓The techniques, medications, supplies, and procedures offered can vary by country. As such, research studies are published from around the world and the exchange of these ideas and techniques is essential to providing the best care 🙌🏽
📓After hearing Dr. Okuno’s research results at a conference, he graciously allowed me to visit his clinic in Tokyo to observe first hand his pioneering techniques on treating
musculoskeletal pain with embolization 🙏
Embolization (the blockage of 🩸blood flow) has shown great results in the treatment of knee arthritis and frozen shoulder 👏🏼 We can expect more applications to come soon as this therapy is already being offered for a variety of musculoskeletal issues outside the US.
💡Medicine is always changing and there is something to be learned from everyone. To be the best, one cannot practice in isolation.
💡A physician who has 20 years of experience doing the same thing without keeping up with the science or their peers isn’t delivering the best care.

Large bile stone that could not be accessed by traditional methods. A tiny camera is introduced through the liver into the bile duct. The mobile stone can sometimes be floating around. After securing the stone, Dr Allaei then proctors new partner on using laser to fragment the stone.
Most stones are removed by a Gastroenterologist doctor. However, sometimes due to surgery or anatomy this traditional method is not possible. By working together our IR and GI team can tackle these complex situations with minimally invasive solutions.

𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐃𝐕𝐓 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞? This is a blood clot pulled out of a leg 🤯 also called Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT).
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.

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.

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

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.

📓The techniques, medications, supplies, and procedures offered can vary by country. As such, research studies are published from around the world and the exchange of these ideas and techniques is essential to providing the best care 🙌🏽
📓After hearing Dr. Okuno’s research results at a conference, he graciously allowed me to visit his clinic in Tokyo to observe first hand his pioneering techniques on treating
musculoskeletal pain with embolization 🙏
Embolization (the blockage of 🩸blood flow) has shown great results in the treatment of knee arthritis and frozen shoulder 👏🏼 We can expect more applications to come soon as this therapy is already being offered for a variety of musculoskeletal issues outside the US.
💡Medicine is always changing and there is something to be learned from everyone. To be the best, one cannot practice in isolation.
💡A physician who has 20 years of experience doing the same thing without keeping up with the science or their peers isn’t delivering the best care.

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.

MRI images of the uterus before and after Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) of a 7 cm 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. No more fibroids.
Large intracavitary fibroids require this team approach. UFE prevents bleeding, full fibroid treatment and easier post-op resection of the residual fibroid.

Large bile stone that could not be accessed by traditional methods. A tiny camera is introduced through the liver into the bile duct. The mobile stone can sometimes be floating around. After securing the stone, Dr Allaei then proctors new partner on using laser to fragment the stone.
Most stones are removed by a Gastroenterologist doctor. However, sometimes due to surgery or anatomy this traditional method is not possible. By working together our IR and GI team can tackle these complex situations with minimally invasive solutions.

𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐃𝐕𝐓 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞? This is a blood clot pulled out of a leg 🤯 also called Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT).
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.

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.

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

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.

📓The techniques, medications, supplies, and procedures offered can vary by country. As such, research studies are published from around the world and the exchange of these ideas and techniques is essential to providing the best care 🙌🏽
📓After hearing Dr. Okuno’s research results at a conference, he graciously allowed me to visit his clinic in Tokyo to observe first hand his pioneering techniques on treating
musculoskeletal pain with embolization 🙏
Embolization (the blockage of 🩸blood flow) has shown great results in the treatment of knee arthritis and frozen shoulder 👏🏼 We can expect more applications to come soon as this therapy is already being offered for a variety of musculoskeletal issues outside the US.
💡Medicine is always changing and there is something to be learned from everyone. To be the best, one cannot practice in isolation.
💡A physician who has 20 years of experience doing the same thing without keeping up with the science or their peers isn’t delivering the best care.
