A Minimally Invasive Option for Selected Shoulder Pain
Shoulder artery embolization is an emerging image-guided procedure that targets selected small blood vessels associated with inflammation around a painful shoulder region. It may be considered in carefully selected cases after the underlying condition has been evaluated.
Chronic shoulder pain can have several causes, including joint, tendon, bursal, and referred pain patterns. The diagnosis and response to earlier care help determine whether embolization belongs in the treatment discussion.
The developing evidence, procedural risks, preparation, access-site care, and follow-up are reviewed alongside other shoulder-care options.
