Vascular Embolization is generally a safe and effective procedure, with a low risk of complications. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects that patients should be aware of. These may include bleeding, infection, and damage to surrounding tissues or organs. Patients may also experience pain or discomfort at the site of the catheter insertion, as well as temporary changes in blood pressure or heart rate. To minimize the risks associated with Vascular Embolization, patients should be carefully screened before the procedure to ensure that they are good candidates.

This may involve a physical exam, blood tests, and imaging studies to evaluate the extent of the problem and the location of the affected blood vessels. During the procedure, patients will be monitored closely by a team of medical professionals to ensure that they are comfortable and safe. They may be given medication to help them relax or manage pain, and they will be asked to lie still for a period of time while the catheter is inserted and the embolization materials are injected.
