About North Star Vascular & Interventional
North Star Vascular & Interventional is a leader in providing state-of-the-art, minimally invasive treatments for chronic internal hemorrhoids. Serving patients across Minnesota, the clinic specializes in bridging the gap between conservative home remedies and painful traditional surgery. Their team of fellowship-trained interventional radiologists uses advanced medical imaging to treat the root cause of hemorrhoid symptoms with unmatched precision.The clinic is a premier provider of Hemorrhoid Artery Embolization (HAE), an innovative, FDA-approved procedure designed for those who have not found relief through diet, creams, or office-based treatments like rubber band ligation.
The North Star Advantage: Hemorrhoid Artery Embolization (HAE)Targeted Relief: HAE works by using tiny catheters to deliver microscopic particles or coils directly to the arteries feeding the hemorrhoids. This reduces blood flow at the source, causing the swollen tissue to shrink and symptoms like bleeding and itching to resolve.No “Anal Trauma”: Unlike traditional surgery (hemorrhoidectomy) or banding, HAE is performed through a tiny needle stick in the wrist or groin. There is no cutting, no stitches, and no instruments placed in the anal canal.Rapid Recovery: Most patients return home the same day and can resume normal activities within 24 to 48 hours. The procedure typically results in significantly less post-operative pain compared to surgical alternatives.High Success Rate: Clinical data and patient reports show a success rate of over 90% in reducing rectal bleeding and improving overall quality of life.
