If you’re tired of living with persistent elbow pain from conditions like Tennis Elbow or Golfer’s Elbow, Elbow Artery Embolization may be the solution you’ve been searching for. This advanced, minimally invasive procedure is designed for chronic elbow pain that hasn’t responded to other treatments.
What is Tennis & Golfer's Elbow Embolization?
Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow are caused by small tendon injuries and degeneration over time. In chronic cases, the body forms abnormal blood vessels and nerve signals that keep the area inflamed and painful.
Elbow Artery Embolization is a minimally invasive, image-guided procedure that reduces chronic elbow pain by blocking the abnormal blood vessels that cause inflammation and nerve sensitivity in the damaged tendon.

Frequently Asked Questions
We perform this procedure with your comfort in mind, using light sedation. After numbing a small patch of skin, usually on your wrist, we insert a micro catheter. Using live imaging, we identify the abnormal blood vessels near your elbow that are the source of pain. We then inject tiny, dissolvable particles to block these vessels. The procedure typically lasts 60-90 minutes, and after a short observation period, you can return home the same day.
This treatment is ideal for patients who have been suffering from elbow pain for three to six months or more and are looking for an alternative to surgery. The procedure typically takes about 60-90 minutes, and you can go home the same day.
