"The first cases of superior rectal artery embolisation for haemorrhoidal disease were published by Galkin in 1994. The technique re-emerged and gained further interest after a case series published by Vidal et al. in 2014 reported positive results 1-3,4,6. The United Kingdom's National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) (c. 2018) does not recommend the procedure for routine clinical use, only advising use in a research setting 5."

"Outcomes appear to be promising, with an effective reduction in haemorrhoidal per rectal bleeding and irritative symptoms, with high rates of patient satisfaction. There are no reported serious early complications related specifically to this procedure. Further comparative and longer-term studies are required to fully evaluate the role of this promising technique 1,2,4-6."
