Achilles Tendinopathy
A minimally invasive procedure that blocks abnormal blood vessels contributing to chronic inflammation and Achilles pain.
Transarterial Embolization (TAE) for Achilles Tendinopathy
Achilles tendinopathy can become notoriously chronic. By utilizing highly precise Transarterial Embolization, we cut off the abnormal, inflammatory blood supply to the tendon, allowing the body to naturally arrest the pain signals and repair the tissue.
How the Procedure Works
Preparation
Performed by our specialized interventional radiologist under standard local anesthesia.
Navigation
A microcatheter is guided entirely from inside the arteries down to the vessels feeding the damaged tendon.
Treatment
Microscopic embolization agents block the abnormal vessels, immediately curtailing the inflammatory cycle.
Key Benefits & Advantages
High success rate: 86% of patients report >50% pain reduction.
Low risk: Completely avoids tendon weakening or surgical complications.
Quick recovery: Patients resume normal light activities within days.
Highly effective non-surgical alternative.
