Hemorrhoids | Hemorrhoid Artery Embolization (HAE)

Hemorrhoids, or piles, are enlarged veins located in the anus and lower rectum. They can form internally within the rectum, known as internal hemorrhoids, or externally under the skin around the anus, referred to as external hemorrhoids.

Hemorrhoid Artery Embolization (HAE)
Our Interventional Radiologist performs HAE, a minimally invasive procedure for grade one to three internal hemorrhoids on an outpatient basis in our San Jose office. The procedure is done under local anesthesia and sedation ("twilight sleep").

Advantages of superior HAE:

  • No general anesthesia needed.
  • Preserves anal continence - avoids stool leakage.
  • Does not create painful rectal wounds.
  • Leaves hemorrhoidal tissue in place.
  • Good short-term results.
