Stop internal bleeding without open surgery.
Whether it’s a post-trauma bleed, a GI haemorrhage, or post-surgical bleeding — angioembolisation offers a fast, targeted, and minimally invasive solution. Consult Dr. Vrishit Saraswat for expert care.
Understanding Angioembolisation
Angioembolisation is a minimally invasive procedure where an Interventional Radiologist threads a thin catheter through a small puncture in your wrist or groin to reach a bleeding blood vessel. Tiny particles, coils, or special medical glue are then delivered to block the vessel and stop the bleed — all without a single surgical cut.
This technique is used in emergencies like trauma-related internal bleeding, ruptured blood vessels, and gastrointestinal haemorrhages. It can also be planned for conditions like uterine fibroids or vascular malformations where controlled embolisation reduces blood flow and symptoms.
How Does Angioembolisation Work?
Using real-time X-ray imaging (fluoroscopy), Dr. Vrishit Saraswat guides a microcatheter directly to the bleeding site inside the body. Once precisely positioned, embolic agents — such as microspheres, metallic coils, or liquid embolic materials — are injected to seal the damaged vessel. The procedure typically takes 1–2 hours, requires only local anaesthesia, and most patients recover within 24–48 hours. Unlike open surgery, there are no large incisions, minimal blood loss, and a significantly shorter hospital stay.
Focused Patient Care
Every case of internal bleeding is different. We evaluate the source, severity, and your overall health to design a precise embolisation strategy — never a one-size-fits-all approach.

Our Treatment Process
If you or a loved one is dealing with internal bleeding or a vascular condition that requires controlled embolisation, here is what to expect during your angioembolisation journey with Dr. Vrishit Saraswat:
1
Diagnosis & Planning
Advanced imaging scans help pinpoint blockages, bleeding, or vascular abnormalities; treatment is tailored to your exact condition and medical history.
2
Minimally Invasive Procedure
A catheter is inserted through a pinhole access point to treat the target vessel without open surgery, using real-time imaging guidance.
3
Recovery & Monitoring
Most patients recover quickly with minimal pain and receive comprehensive follow-up care to track healing progress and ensure optimal outcomes.
FAQs About The Service
Here are some common questions patients ask about angioembolisation for internal bleeding:
What are endovascular interventions?
Endovascular interventions are minimally invasive procedures performed inside blood vessels using catheters and specialized tools, guided by real-time imaging to treat vascular conditions without open surgery.
How long does an endovascular procedure take?
Most endovascular procedures take 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on complexity. Simple embolizations may take 30-45 minutes, while complex angioplasty or stenting procedures may take 1-2 hours.
What is the recovery time after endovascular treatment?
Recovery is typically faster than open surgery. Most patients can return to normal activities within 24-48 hours, with full recovery in 1-2 weeks. Heavy lifting restrictions may apply for 7-10 days.
Are endovascular procedures painful?
These procedures are performed under local anesthesia with conscious sedation. Patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure and mild soreness at the access site afterward, which resolves within 2-3 days.
What are the risks of endovascular interventions?
Risks are generally low and include minor bleeding at the access site, temporary bruising, or rare allergic reactions to contrast dye. Serious complications are uncommon due to the minimally invasive nature of these procedures.
Will I need to stay in the hospital overnight?
Most endovascular procedures are day-care procedures. Patients typically go home the same day after 4-6 hours of observation. Overnight stay may be required for complex cases or if complications arise.
