Abstract 3 of 4 :
Explore "Long-Term Efficacy of Hemorrhoid Artery Embolization" - an important study in hemorrhoid treatment. 🎉🔬🩺
🎯 Study Goal: Assessing the effectiveness of hemorrhoid artery embolization (HAE) in treating symptomatic hemorrhoids long-term, in 221 patients resistant to other treatments. A step forward in non-surgical hemorrhoid therapy! 🏥💡
🔍 Study Details:
❍ Patients: 221 (115 males, 106 females)
❍ Age Average: 57.1 years
❍ Hemorrhoid Grade Average: 2.1
❍ Follow-Up: 1-, 3-, 6-12 months post-embolization
📊 Results:
❍ 100% technical success (221/221)
❍ 90% clinical success at 1 month; 21 needed re-embolization
❍ Significant improvements in all measured outcomes (HSS, HRP, QoL, FBS, HG) at follow-ups
❍ Minor adverse events: 4, all resolved within 30 days
🔍 Insightful Observation: 18 of 21 treatment failures were linked to a dominant middle rectal artery supply.
📌 Conclusion: HAE emerges as a promising outpatient treatment for persistent symptomatic internal hemorrhoids, demonstrating notable long-term efficacy and safety.
