How Selective Renal Artery Embolization (SAE) is performed
This procedure is often performed by an interventional team under imaging guidance, using different embolic materials as appropriate. Typically, a catheter and microcatheter are inserted through a peripheral artery to reach the feeding branch. Under digital subtraction angiography (DSA) monitoring, particles, colloids, or coils are slowly injected to block blood flow until the desired embolization endpoint is achieved. Postoperative monitoring includes pain, fever, and renal function. The overall goal is to reduce the risk of bleeding and promote lesion shrinkage. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
