Hemorrhoid Embolization in South Florida: What You Need to Know

Hemorrhoid embolization, also known as hemorrhoid technique or superior rectal artery embolization, is a non-surgical procedure that works by reducing the arterial blood flow that feeds enlarged hemorrhoidal tissue. Using image guidance, Dr. Julien advances a thin catheter through a tiny needle puncture through the groin and selectively delivers small embolic particles to the superior rectal arteries. This causes the hemorrhoidal tissue to shrink over time, relieving the bleeding, pressure, and discomfort that chronic hemorrhoids produce.

Unlike traditional hemorrhoid surgery, this approach requires no general anesthesia, no surgical removal of tissue, and no lengthy hospital stay. All of our patients go home the same day and typically return to normal activities within 24 hours. The procedure is well-tolerated and carries a favorable safety profile compared with conventional surgical alternatives.

At South Florida Vascular Associates, hemorrhoid embolization is performed by Dr. Julien, a board-certified vascular interventional physician with fellowship training at the Miami Cardiac and Vascular Institute. His subspecialty focus on embolization across multiple conditions means patients in Coral Springs benefit from a depth of expertise that a general surgical practice simply cannot offer. You can explore the full range of embolization treatments available at South Florida Vascular Associates to understand how this expertise extends across conditions.

Are You a Candidate for Hemorrhoid Embolization?

Hemorrhoid embolization may be appropriate for adults who have been diagnosed with bleeding internal hemorrhoids . It tends to be especially well-suited for patients who have tried conservative measures, such as dietary changes or topical treatments, without adequate relief, as well as those who want to avoid the pain and recovery time associated with traditional surgical hemorrhoidectomy.

Research suggests that candidates typically include patients with Grade II or Grade III internal hemorrhoids. A thorough consultation with Dr. Julien will determine whether hemorrhoid embolization in South Florida is the right path for your specific anatomy and symptom profile.

Potential benefits for appropriate candidates may include:

• Significant reduction in hemorrhoidal bleeding
• Relief from chronic rectal pressure and discomfort
• No general anesthesia required
• Same-day discharge with rapid return to daily activities
• No tissue removal and no prolonged surgical recovery
• Covered by most insurance plans, including Medicare

If chronic hemorrhoid symptoms have been affecting your daily life, you deserve a real conversation about your options. Contact South Florida Vascular Associates to request a consultation at our South Florida facility.

What to Expect at South Florida Vascular Associates

Your experience begins with a comprehensive consultation. Dr. Julien will review your medical history, discuss your symptoms in detail, and may order imaging to evaluate the hemorrhoidal vasculature. This step ensures the procedure is appropriate for you and allows the team to plan with precision before your procedure day.

On the day of your procedure, you will be welcomed into South Florida Vascular Associates’ dedicated outpatient endovascular suite, one of the first advanced facilities of its kind in the United States. Dr. Julien will make a tiny needle puncture, typically at the radial artery in the wrist, and use real-time fluoroscopic imaging to navigate a catheter to the superior rectal arteries. The embolic particles are then deployed with careful precision. The procedure typically takes about one hour from start to finish.

Afterward, patients rest briefly in recovery before going home the same day. You should plan to have a driver and to take it easy for the remainder of the day. Most patients return to normal activities the following day. Some mild post-procedural discomfort is normal and typically resolves quickly.

Many Coral Springs patients tell us their biggest hesitation before booking was uncertainty about what the procedure would feel like. The reality is that most patients tolerate hemorrhoid embolization in South Florida very well, and the absence of surgical tissue removal means the recovery is far gentler than patients expect.
