🦵 Knee pain, but not ready for surgery?
Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) is a minimally invasive treatment for knee osteoarthritis that targets abnormal blood flow associated with inflammation and pain.
Through a tiny pinhole, Dr. Allaei guides a small catheter into the arteries around the knee and treats the abnormal vessels—no knee surgery, no major incision, and patients go home the same day.
GAE may be an option for patients with chronic osteoarthritis pain who have not had enough relief from medications, physical therapy, or injections.
✓ Outpatient treatment
✓ No major incision
✓ Fast recovery
✓ Medicare and many PPO insurance plans accepted

🧡🦋 What happens when a thyroid goiter grows completely into the chest next to the heart and lungs and compresses the airway to nearly the width of a straw?
Dr. Allaei treated this complex intrathoracic goiter with thyroid artery embolization (TAE)—a minimally invasive, thyroid-preserving alternative for selected patients with large goiters and thyroid nodules.
Before treatment, the patient struggled to breathe, swallow, and sleep and experienced frequent coughing. After a single outpatient TAE procedure, the one-year follow-up scan showed:
✅ 60% reduction in goiter volume
✅ Significantly improved airway opening
✅ Improvement in the patient’s symptoms
✅ No large neck incision or surgical scar
Dr. Allaei is double board-certified in Diagnostic Radiology and Interventional Radiology and has extensive experience treating thyroid nodules and goiters with both thyroid artery embolization and thyroid radiofrequency ablation (RFA).
If you have a large or complex thyroid goiter or nodule and want to explore a thyroid-preserving alternative to surgery, we’d be happy to help.

Testimonial video of our patient sharing his experience with varicocele embolization by Dr Allaei. Embolization is a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment for varicoceles that can cause pain and male infertility. This procedure is only performed by trained board certified Vascular and Interventional Radiologists, and not urology. He discusses his symptoms, why he chose embolization over surgery, his recovery, and the positive fertility outcome that followed.
📈 Studies show semen count and function often improve after embolization — and in this case, the patient’s partner became pregnant just a few months later.
Varicocele is essentially varicose veins of the testicle and affects:
• ~15% of all men
• ~40% of men with infertility
Varicoceles can cause:
❌ Testicular pain (often worse after exercise)
❌ Fertility issues
❌ Heaviness or discomfort
There are surgical and non-surgical options, and embolization offers a minimally invasive alternative 👍🏽
✨ Why varicocele embolization?
• Outpatient procedure
• Local + moderate sedation
• Essentially pain-free
• No surgery
A small catheter is guided through a vein (usually in the neck) under X-ray into the abnormal testicular vein, which is then embolized to shut it down and restore normal blood flow.
✅ No stitches
✅ No large incisions
✅ No general anesthesia
✅ Fast recovery
✅ Walk out with just a Band-Aid
If you’re experiencing pain or struggling with fertility, contact us to setup an appointment with our image-guided specialist (Vascular & Interventional Radiologist) experienced in embolization techniques.

Today, she reports:
✅ Normal menstrual cycles
✅ Relief of pelvic pain and heaviness
✅ Minimal downtime
✅ No hysterectomy

🩸 Ever wondered what hemorrhoid embolization actually looks like?
Come inside the angiography suite with Dr. Atabak Allaei as he performs a hemorrhoidal artery embolization (HAE)—a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment for bleeding internal hemorrhoids.
Using ultrasound-guided access through a tiny pinhole, a microcatheter is carefully navigated into the arteries supplying the hemorrhoids. Tiny platinum coils are then placed to reduce the abnormal blood flow causing bleeding—all without removing hemorrhoids or making surgical incisions.
✅ No hemorrhoid excision
✅ Outpatient procedure
✅ Tiny bandage instead of stitches
✅ Performed by a board-certified Interventional Radiologist
If you suffer from persistent bleeding internal hemorrhoids and want to learn whether hemorrhoid embolization is right for you, we’d be happy to help.

Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) is an innovative, image-guided procedure to treat enlarged prostate (BPH) symptoms and/or hematuria (blood in the urine).
𝗪𝐡𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐧𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞?
Anyone that has a prostate.
⭐️ How does embolization shrink tissue?
Embolization works by reducing blood flow to targeted tissue. Just like plants cannot survive without water, tissues that rely on blood flow gradually shrink when that supply is reduced.
During PAE, microscopic particles are delivered through a catheter into the prostate’s blood supply. These particles reduce excess blood flow to the prostate, allowing it to shrink over time and improve urinary symptoms.
💡 Large clinical studies have shown PAE to be safe and effective, with outcomes comparable to surgery and the advantage of a faster recovery and fewer risks. It is now FDA-approved and covered by some insurance plans.
💡 Clinical success rates have been reported at 85% at 1 year, over 80% at mid-term follow-up, and over 75% at long-term follow-up, making PAE a durable treatment option for many patients.

Complex intrathoracic goiter treated with thyroid artery embolization (TAE)—a minimally invasive, thyroid-preserving alternative for selected patients with large goiters and thyroid nodules.
Before treatment, the patient struggled to breathe, swallow, and sleep and experienced frequent coughing. After a single outpatient TAE procedure, the one-year follow-up scan showed:
✅ 60% reduction in goiter volume
✅ Significantly improved airway opening
✅ Improvement in the patient’s symptoms
✅ No large neck incision or surgical scar
Dr. Allaei is double board-certified in Diagnostic Radiology and Interventional Radiology and has extensive experience treating thyroid nodules and goiters with both thyroid artery embolization and thyroid radiofrequency ablation (RFA).

🩺 Committed to bringing the latest advances in musculoskeletal embolization to our patients.
Recently attended the ESIR Musculoskeletal Embolization Course in Europe, joining leading interventional radiologists from around the world to discuss the newest techniques, research, and clinical outcomes for embolization treatments.
Medicine is constantly evolving, and staying at the forefront means continually learning from the experts who are helping shape the future of image-guided therapy.
Musculoskeletal embolization is a minimally invasive treatment that can help selected patients with chronic pain from conditions such as:
• Knee osteoarthritis
• Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
• Plantar fasciitis
• Achilles tendinopathy
• Tennis elbow
By combining international collaboration with extensive clinical experience, our goal is to provide patients with the most advanced, evidence-based care available.

🩸 Ever wondered what hemorrhoid embolization actually looks like?
Come inside the angiography suite as I perform a hemorrhoidal artery embolization (HAE)—a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment for bleeding internal hemorrhoids.
Using ultrasound-guided access through a tiny pinhole, a microcatheter is carefully navigated into the arteries supplying the hemorrhoids. Tiny platinum coils are then placed to reduce the abnormal blood flow causing bleeding—all without removing hemorrhoids or making surgical incisions.
✅ No hemorrhoid excision
✅ Outpatient procedure
✅ Tiny bandage instead of stitches
✅ Performed by a board-certified Interventional Radiologist
If you suffer from persistent bleeding hemorrhoids and want to learn whether hemorrhoid embolization is right for you, we’d be happy to help.
👉 Follow for Part 2 to see the angiogram and exactly which blood vessels are treated.
