Acute ischemic stroke

A blood clot has stopped blood flow inside a brain blood vessel. Downstream, brain tissue is on a clock. In selected patients, mechanical thrombectomy can be used to remove the clot through a small access point and restore blood flow.

Cerebral aneurysm

A weak point on a brain artery slowly fills under pressure. Coils placed from inside the vessel pack the sac until blood no longer enters it — the skull is never opened.

Brain AVM & AVF

A tangle of vessels where arteries and veins meet directly (AVM) or an abnormal connection (AVF). Targeted embolization closes the abnormal connection from within, often before any incision is considered.

Dural arteriovenous fistula (AVF)

An abnormal shortcut between an artery and a vein in the covering of the brain. Pressure builds where it was never meant to. Embolic material delivered through a microcatheter seals the shunt.

Carotid artery disease

The carotid arteries carry oxygen-rich blood to the brain. When narrowing develops, the risk is silent until the day it isn't. Targeted intervention restores the channel and protects the brain downstream.

Carotid body tumour

A carotid body tumour is a highly vascular swelling at the division of the carotid artery in the neck. Embolisation is performed before the surgeon removes the tumour to reduce blood supply and minimize blood loss during surgery.

Juvenile angiofibroma

A highly vascular tumour occurring in the nasopharynx of young males. Pre-operative embolisation reduces blood supply to make surgical removal safer.

Thyroid nodules & goitre

A benign nodule can press and disfigure without being cancer. Heat delivered through a needle shrinks it in place; blocking its artery shrinks a larger goitre. No scar, no thyroid hormone tablets for life.

Visceral aneurysm

A bulge in the wall of an artery supplying organs in the abdomen (like the spleen, liver, or kidneys). Endovascular treatment can exclude the aneurysm from circulation without open surgery.

Hepatic hemangioma

A benign swelling made up of blood vessels, not cancer. Targeted embolization with medicine through a small catheter can shrink the hemangioma without surgery.

Angiomyolipoma (AML)

A kidney tumour that is not cancerous but has a substantial blood-vessel component. Embolisation is performed to reduce the risk of bleeding or rupture.

Renal cell carcinoma

A vascular kidney cancer. Embolisation can be performed before surgery to reduce blood supply and facilitate safer tumour removal.

Gastrointestinal bleeding

Acute bleeding within the digestive tract. Minimally invasive embolization can often identify and seal the bleeding source through the blood vessels.

Hemoptysis (Coughing up blood)

Bleeding can arise from abnormal or damaged blood vessels in the lungs, often due to previous damage like tuberculosis. Bronchial artery embolisation blocks the responsible blood vessel.

Aortic dissection

A tear in the inner layer of the aorta allows blood to flow between the layers of the wall, forcing them apart. Endovascular stent grafting can seal the tear and reinforce the wall.

Pulmonary AVM

An abnormal connection between blood vessels in the lung (Pulmonary arteriovenous malformation).

Hepatocellular carcinoma

A cancerous liver tumour that lives on its own artery. Chemotherapy beads delivered directly into that artery starve it from the inside.

Renal artery stenosis

When blood pressure remains high despite three or more medications, narrowing of the kidney blood vessels is suspected. Stenting can keep the vessel open and help control pressure.

Dialysis access maintenance

Maintaining the flow in dialysis fistulas or grafts. Procedures like angioplasty (fistuloplasty) or stenting ensure reliable access for dialysis.

Poor blood circulation (PAD)

Blocked or narrowed arteries reduce blood supply to the legs. Image-guided treatment restores flow to heal wounds and prevent gangrene.

Peripheral AVM / Vascular malformation

Vascular malformations that occur in extremities like arms, hands, or around the eye. Targeted treatment closes the abnormal vessels without needing major surgery.

Genicular artery embolization

A treatment for chronic knee pain due to osteoarthritis. Embolization reduces inflammation by targeting abnormal blood vessels around the joint.

Varicose veins & Venous ulcer

Failing vein valves cause blood to pool, leading to bulging veins and ulcers. Closing the vein allows the ulcer to shrink and heal.

Angioplasty & stenting

Reopening a narrowed artery from the inside.

Mechanical thrombectomy

Removing a clot before brain tissue is lost.

Endovascular aneurysm repair

Excluding the aneurysm from circulation.

Endovenous laser ablation

Closing a failing vein from within.

TACE — chemoembolization

Delivering chemotherapy into a tumour's own artery.

Microwave ablation

Destroying a tumour with heat, through a needle.

Cerebral aneurysm coiling

Packing an aneurysm until blood no longer enters it.

Thyroid nodule ablation

Shrinking a nodule without removing the gland.

Genicular artery embolization

Reducing the abnormal blood supply that drives knee pain.

Dialysis fistuloplasty

Keeping a lifeline open.

TIPS

Giving portal pressure somewhere to go.

Prostate artery embolization (PAE)

Shrinking the prostate by closing its supply.

Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE)

Treating fibroids without removing the uterus.

Mechanical thrombectomy, animated

How a clot in a brain artery is captured and withdrawn through a single puncture. Real patient imaging included.

Cerebral aneurysm coiling, animated

The aneurysm sac is packed from inside the vessel until flow no longer enters it. Real angiography videos available.

Endovascular aneurysm repair, animated

A stent graft is carried up through the groin and deployed to reline the aorta.

Varicose vein treatment, animated

The failing vein is sealed along its length and flow reroutes to healthy veins.
