Hemorrhoid Artery Embolization

A Minimally Invasive Procedure for Internal Hemorrhoids 

Hemorrhoid Artery Embolization (HAE) is an innovative, minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure for treatment of internal hemorrhoids. HAE is an effective option for patients experiencing persistent bleeding symptoms despite conservative treatments, and for patients who wish to avoid surgery or are not surgical candidates. 

Our interventional radiologists will review your health history and symptoms to determine if HAE is the best treatment for you during a consultation at our Midtown office.  

What to Expect from an HAE

• Minimally Invasive: No large incisions or stitches, only a small puncture site at the wrist or groin.
• Quick Outpatient Procedure: Procedure takes about 60-90 minutes and patients go home the same day.
• Anesthesia: Performed under mild sedation, no general anesthesia required.
• Quick Recovery: Faster return to normal activities compared to traditional surgery.
• Reduced Pain & Discomfort: Less post-procedure pain than surgical alternatives.
• Effective Symptom Relief: Helps control bleeding and shrinks hemorrhoids over time.

Are You a Good Candidate for HAE?

HAE is ideal for patients with symptomatic internal hemorrhoids who have not responded to conservative treatments, or for those who wish to avoid surgery or are not surgical candidates.
