How Transarterial Embolization (TAE) is performed
Under image guidance, a catheter is inserted through a peripheral arterial puncture. A common practice is to selectively enter the tumor's feeding artery and inject particles, microspheres, or glue-like materials to reduce blood flow, and multi-vessel stepwise treatment is performed if necessary. It can be used as a preoperative blood supply reduction or symptom control measure. Postoperative monitoring includes pain, fever, and puncture site bleeding, and limb perfusion is assessed. The above is general health information and not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocol.
