Ever wonder about alternative, unique and new treatments your doctor may not know about? Dr Allaei speaks to LA Health & Me about the alternative treatment options in medicine that both doctors and patients may not be aware of.
Image-guided treatments both new and routine have immense impact on outcomes by either preventing surgery or providing a solution where there is none. In order to improve access to care, spreading awareness on the specialty of image-guided procedures, known as Vascular & Interventional Radiology, is key.

MRI images of the uterus before and after Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) of a small intracavitary fibroid.
This was treated by Dr Allaei with uterine fibroid embolization only. Patient passed the fibroid afterwards without any additional need for surgery. Resolution of symptoms 👍🏽
𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐢𝐝𝐬? Surgery is not the only option. Dr Allaei treats complex cases as well as UFE redos. Get it done right the first time with an experience board certified specialist.
The UFE procedure has been FDA approved and accepted as an effective alternative to surgery by the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology for over 20 years!!
Surgery is commonly reserved for cancer and emergencies, but it is still performed routinely for benign fibroids. If you a candidate for the UFE procedure, you do not need to have a surgery first approach.
✨Over 90% of patients and millions worldwide have been treated successfully.
✨Can be performed through the arm (trans-radial), which can be much more comfortable and low risk for patients.
💉Surgery is not your only option. Don’t wait until your fibroids grow even larger.

MRI images of the uterus before and after Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) of a 7 cm intracavitary fibroid.
Patient was told her only option was a hysterectomy 🤯 False!
Patient was treated by Dr Allaei with uterine fibroid embolization followed by hysteroscopic resection by GYN with resolution of symptoms 👍🏽 No hysterectomy required. No more fibroids.
Large intracavitary fibroids require this team approach. UFE prevents bleeding, full fibroid treatment and easier post-op resection of the residual fibroid.

Large bile stone that could not be accessed by traditional methods. A tiny camera is introduced through the liver into the bile duct. The mobile stone can sometimes be floating around. After securing the stone, Dr Allaei then proctors new partner on using laser to fragment the stone.
Most stones are removed by a Gastroenterologist doctor. However, sometimes due to surgery or anatomy this traditional method is not possible. By working together our IR and GI team can tackle these complex situations with minimally invasive solutions.

𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐃𝐕𝐓 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞? This is a blood clot pulled out of a leg 🤯 also called Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT).
𝐂𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐕𝐓: Cancer, COVID, immobility (long plane ride eg), birth control, surgery, injury, pregnancy, age, genetics, smoking, vascular disorders and others.
𝐃𝐕𝐓 𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: In severe cases a Vascular & Interventional Radiologist is consulted to perform thrombectomty as in the case here. A large catheter was placed into the leg and the blood clots were aspirated out.
𝐃𝐕𝐓 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐤𝐬: The problem with a DVT is that it blocks the return of blood from the limb, this results in swelling and pain, and when severe this can lead to loss of the limb. If the DVT is large enough it will also break loose and go to the heart 😮 which may require thrombectomy as well.
On a long plane or car ride? Stand up and walk around or flex the calf muscles occasionally minimizing your risk.

Benign kidney tumor called an AML treated with liquid embolization, a mixture of a sterile glue and poppy seed oil.
𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐌𝐋? A renal #angiomyolipoma “AML” is a benign tumor made of blood vessels, muscle cells and fat. Once they reach a certain size, they can burst causing life-threatening bleeding into the abdomen.
𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬? The gold standard treatment is non-surgical embolization, which cuts off its blood supply so that there is no risk of bleeding. This is performed by a board certified vascular and interventional radiologist.
𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧? This is a non-surgical treatment where a tiny IV sized catheter is advanced from the groin or wrist to the kidney. An embolic material is then injected blocking the blood flow to the tumor.
𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤𝐬? If not careful with these embolic agents, they can block the normal kidney tissue or go down into the legs or other organs during injection.

Largest European conference of Vascular & Interventional Radiologists 🔥 Hearing from the experience of peers from other countries provides a unique perspective 🤓
There is never such a thing as perfect, as there is always room for improvement 🎖️Anyone who thinks they have it perfect, has given up. Medicine is always changing and to keep up we need to continuously learn and improve.
Some interesting topics presented:
⭐️UAE VS Hysterectomy for Adenomyosis
⭐️Latest UFE Data
⭐️UFE and Fertility
⭐️Hemorrhoid Embolization
⭐️Knee Arthritis Embolization
⭐️Pelvic Pain Disorders

Medical doctors who have specialized in both diagnostic imaging and minimally invasive therapies. This is the only specialty in medicine that is board certified and trained in performing embolization and ablation procedures either through blood vessels or directly through a tiny incision in the skin.
Through a tiny incision in your skin the interventional radiologist can deliver precise, targeted treatment to complex and sometimes life-threatening diseases and conditions.

Thyroid Artery Embolization (TAE) of a thyroid goiter. This intro-operative video shows the blood flow through the neck and goiter during treatment.
𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐭𝐡𝐲𝐫𝐨𝐢𝐝 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫? An enlarged thyroid gland commonly due to numerous thyroid nodules.

Non-surgical gallstone removal in a surgical candidate. Posted with permission.
The gold standard treatment for gallstone pain is removal of the gallbladder. What if the patient wants to keep the gallbladder to maintain its function? 🤔
Non-surgical gallstone removal was performed in this situation with laser and stone extraction leaving a clean gallbladder behind 🤗
Typically, gallstone removal is done on patients who are too high risk for surgery (older, heart issues, anesthesia risk..) but now being offered to surgical candidates.
Downside of stone removal over surgery:
May require multiple visits 😕
Gallstone recurrence possible 🫤
Make sure to seek out a Vascular & Interventional Radiologist who is experienced in gallstone removal techniques.

Prostate artery embolization or PAE is a challenging but impactful procedure in Interventional Radiology for enlarged prostate symptoms and/or hematuria, blood in urine.
⭐️ 𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐏𝐀𝐄? PAE is the most challenging embolization as these arteries can be small with varying anatomy. Above demonstrates difficult bilateral origins from the obturator artery. There is also communication to the penis on the right.
💡PAE is a relatively new non-surgical treatment option for an enlarged prostate or BPH. 𝗪𝐡𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐧𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞? Anyone that has a prostate!
Microparticles are placed into the prostate artery blocking the blood flow to the prostate gland causing it to shrink in size and improve symptoms.
💡In 2018 the UK-NIH concluded that PAE is safe and effective to provide to patients with BPH and is now covered by their universal healthcare. “The safety profile and quicker return to normal activities may be seen as highly beneficial by patients considering PAE as an alternative treatment to TURP … place of PAE in the care pathway is between that of drugs and surgery.”
💡The American Urology Association considers PAE as experimental. Regardless, there are multiple studies showing it’s efficacy and safety, the treatment is FDA approved and currently covered by some insurance companies.
