Congrats to the new mommy post Uterine Fibroid Embolization! ๐ฅฐ๐๐ฅณ If this is you, please contact our office, we have a question for you ๐โฃ
โฃ
There is a lot of misinformation given to patients by doctors who have never seen or performed a UFE procedure ๐ฌ 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. โฃ
โฃ
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. โฃ

โฃโฃโฃ
โ๏ธRFA 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. โฃโฃโฃ
โฃโฃโฃ
๐ฉบHow 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. โฃโฃโฃ
โฃโฃโฃ
๐ฉบSuccessful outcome requires skill and experience in visualizing the thyroid in 3D while watching a 2D ultrasound image during the ablation ๐จ๐ฝโโ๏ธOur Double Board Certified MD is specifically trained in ablation of soft tissue and bony tumors. โฃโฃ

RFA has been around for over a decade and initially used by Interventional Radiologist for the treatment of cancers, such as in 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. โฃโฃ

Prostate artery embolization or PAE is a challenging but impactful procedure in Interventional Radiology for BPH symptoms and/or hematuria, blood in urine.
โฃ
โญ๏ธ 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.โฃ
โฃโฃ
๐กPAE 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.โฃโฃ
โฃโฃ
๐กIn 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. โThe safety profile and quicker return to normal activities may be seen as highly beneficial by patients considering PAE as an alternative treatment to TURP โฆ place of PAE in the care pathway is between that of drugs and surgery.โ โฃโฃ

Medical doctors with 6 years of post medical school training who have specialized in both diagnostic imaging and minimally invasive therapies. They are the only specialty in medicine that is board certified in different imaging modalities and trained in using the imaging to guide treatments, either through blood vessels or directly through a tiny incision in the skin. โฃโฃ

Interventional radiology (also known as IR) is a specialty that pioneered minimally invasive treatments as an alternative to open surgery for many medical conditions. โฃโฃ
โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
Through a tiny incision in your skin the interventional radiologist can deliver precise, targeted treatment to complex and sometimes life-threatening diseases and conditions. โฃ
โฃโฃ
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.โฃโฃ

โฃ
๐ช๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฆ? โฃ
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. โฃ
โฃ
A non-surgical procedure called Sacroplasty was performed and she was able to sit again without pain ๐๐โฃโฃ
โฃโฃ
๐ช๐ก๐ฒ ๐๐จ๐๐ฌ ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ฅ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ ๐จ๐๐๐ฎ๐ซ? 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! โฃ

๐ช๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฒ? โฃ
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 ๐ช๐ฝ. This requires no stitches or major incisions, and can be done with moderate sedation. โฃโฃ
โฃโฃ
๐Commonly patients are discharged home with pain medication, but other options exist! Make sure to ask for a second opinion from an Interventional Radiologist โฃ

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. โฃโฃโฃ

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. โฃ
โฃ
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 ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ Not having to place a catheter through the penis daily = happy camper ๐คโฃ
โฃ
๐ช๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐๐? PAE is a non-surgical, challenging but impactful procedure for enlarged prostates, bleeding prostates and chronic prostate inflammation. โฃ
โฃโฃ
โญ๏ธOne guarantee in life is that a manโs prostate will grow. โฃ
โญ๏ธPAE is one option if the large prostate causes symptoms. โฃ
โฃ
๐๐จ๐ฐ ๐๐จ๐๐ฌ ๐ข๐ญ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค? 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.โฃโฃโฃ
โฃโฃโฃ
๐กIn 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. โThe safety profile and quicker return to normal activities may be seen as highly beneficial by patients considering PAE as an alternative treatment to TURP โฆ place of PAE in the care pathway is between that of drugs and surgery.โ โฃโฃโฃ
โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃ
๐กThe American Urology Association considers PAE as experimental. Regardless, there are multiple studies showing itโs efficacy and safety, the treatment is FDA approved and currently covered by some insurance companies. โฃโฃโฃ
