[Preliminavy clinical study of the treatment of hemorrhoids by superselective embolization of superior rectal artery].

To investigate the safety and feasibility of the treatment of hemorrhoids by superselective arterial embolization. The clinical data of 15 patients with grade Ⅱ to Ⅳ hemorrhoids were collected who were treated by superselective SRA embolization.According to the number and shape of SRA in the vicinity of the dentate line, chosed coils, PVA particles and gelfoam particles, ethanol and bletilla mixture of gelfoam particles for embolization.And intraoperative operations, postoperative complications, follow-up treatment results were observed. The interventional procedures were successfully accomplished in all 15 cases.The operation time was (30±14) min, and the hospital stay was 1-7 (2.0±1.8) days after operation, and the patients recovered to normal life in 12 hours after the operation.Tenesmus (14/15), pain (5/15) and low fever (11/15) can alleviate without special treatment. All patients were follow up (19.0±2.6) months, bleeding symptoms were cured, there's no serious complications. The treatment of hemorrhoids by transcatheter superselective embolization of superior rectal artery is technically safe and feasible.
