emboliseerimiseks

Emboliseerimiseks refers to the medical procedure of embolization, which involves intentionally blocking a blood vessel. This is typically achieved by introducing a substance, known as an embolus, into the bloodstream. The embolus travels to a specific vessel and lodges there, effectively obstructing blood flow. This blockage can be therapeutic, used to stop bleeding, shrink tumors by cutting off their blood supply, or treat abnormal blood vessel formations like aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations. The embolizing agents can vary widely, including coils, particles, balloons, or even chemical agents. The choice of agent and technique depends on the size and location of the blood vessel and the condition being treated. Embolization is a minimally invasive procedure, often performed under imaging guidance such as fluoroscopy, X-ray, or ultrasound, allowing for precise placement of the embolus. While generally safe, potential risks include unintended blockage of healthy vessels, damage to surrounding tissues, or allergic reactions to contrast agents used during the procedure. Recovery time is typically shorter compared to open surgical interventions.
