Blocking blood flow to hemorrhoids: a promising new treatment?
NCT ID NCT07179601
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a procedure called hemorrhoidal artery embolization (HAE) for people with internal hemorrhoids who have not had success with other treatments or cannot have surgery. The procedure blocks certain arteries to reduce blood flow to the hemorrhoid tissue, aiming to improve symptoms like bleeding. Researchers will follow 22 participants for one year to see if symptoms decrease and if the procedure is safe.
