What Is This Technique?
Non Surgical Vascular Treatment, Guided by Imaging
3-D precision guided endovascular treatment is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat vascular and blood vessel blockage-related conditions without the need for open surgery.
What Does It Treat?
Many vascular conditions, from varicocele to venous leak to uterine fibroids, share a common root cause: abnormal blood vessels that need to be precisely located and shut down.
How Does This Work?
3-D precision guided endovascular treatment uses a catheter, a thin flexible tube, to travel through a vein or artery in the thigh, neck, or wrist, guided in real time by contrast imaging until it reaches the exact vessel involved. From there, the abnormal vessel is permanently closed off using targeted embolization, without cutting, stitching, or removing any tissue.
What’s Different About It?
The entire procedure is performed through a single small puncture, using catheter-based treatment instead of an incision. Most patients are discharged within hours and return to normal activity within a day or two.
Who Can Benefit
Conditions Treated With This Approach
This precision-guided endovascular procedure forms the foundation of several treatments Dr. Imtiaz performs, all built on the same 3D precision guided imaging, catheter-based principle.
Varicocele and related male infertility
Venous leak and erectile dysfunction
Uterine fibroids and adenomyosis
Pelvic congestion related pain
Varicose and spider veins
Bariatric (appetite-related) embolization
Enlarged prostate (BPH)
Chronic bleeding hemorrhoids
Important: The right endovascular procedure depends on the specific condition being treated. A consultation helps determine which catheter-based treatment is most suitable for your case.
How We Plan an Endovascular Procedure
Clinical Consultation
A detailed review of symptoms, history, and prior treatments tried.
A detailed review of symptoms, history, and prior treatments tried.
Diagnostic Imaging
Ultrasound or other imaging modalities to confirm the diagnosis and identify the affected vessels.
Vascular Mapping
Detailed imaging of the relevant arteries or veins to plan catheter access.
Suitability Assessment
Confirming kidney function and ruling out contrast dye allergy.
Procedure Planning
Finalising the access point and embolization approach before treatment.
The Procedure
How 3D Precision Guided Endovascular Treatment Works
The procedure is performed in an advanced angio suite under local anaesthesia, with the entire process guided by live imaging.
Local Anaesthesia & Access
A small puncture is made in a vein or artery in the thigh, neck, or wrist. No general anaesthesia is needed.

What is 3D precision guided endovascular treatment?
It is a minimally invasive treatment approach in which a thin catheter is guided through the blood vessels to reach the exact site of a vascular condition, using real-time 3D imaging for accuracy. The abnormal vessel is then closed off without any open incision, cutting, or tissue removal.
How does 3D precision guided vascular treatment work?
A catheter is inserted through a small puncture, usually in the thigh, neck, or wrist, and advanced through the blood vessels under live X-ray and contrast imaging. This allows the interventional radiologist to precisely locate the target vessel and perform embolization with minimal risk to surrounding tissue.
What are the benefits of minimally invasive endovascular treatment?
Patients avoid the incisions, general anaesthesia, and lengthy recovery associated with open surgery. Most procedures are completed on an outpatient basis, with recovery typically taking 24 to 48 hours, and there is no visible scarring since the entire procedure is performed through a single small puncture.
