What can I expect after embolization?

Kenneth W. Chin (M.D., F.A.C.R.) gives expert video advice on: How are blood vessels blocked during embolization?; What can I expect after embolization?; Are there risks involved with embolization? and more...

After embolization, depending on what abnormality is being embolized and what body part is being embolized, you may or may not feel any pain. If a large amount of tissue is deprived of its blood supply, then it can result in moderate pain or fever. This is what we call post embolization syndrome. This is expected and you will be told whether or not to expect this depending on the abnormality that you are being treated for.
