About Pasadena Health & Surgical Institute
Pasadena Health & Surgical Institute is a prominent multi-specialty center in Southern California focused on providing advanced, minimally invasive solutions for fibroids. Guided by the mission to improve quality of life through medical innovation, the institute offers a specialized alternative to conventional surgery, assisting patients in achieving lasting relief with minimal interruption to their daily routines. The clinic excels in Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE)—an innovative interventional radiology procedure created for those who have not experienced success with traditional treatments like medication or watchful waiting. Advanced Treatment: Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE). Precision Targeting: Utilizing real-time X-ray guidance (fluoroscopy), our experts thread a micro-catheter to the specific arteries supplying the fibroids. Non-Surgical Shrinkage: By administering tiny particles to reduce blood flow at the source, the fibroids naturally decrease in size over time. This effectively alleviates symptoms such as heavy bleeding and abdominal discomfort without removing tissue. No Large Incisions: Unlike traditional surgical options, UAE is performed through a minute, pinhole-sized entry in the groin or wrist. There are no incisions or stitches in the sensitive uterine region. Rapid Recovery: Most patients can go home on the same day and resume normal activities much sooner than with surgical methods, often within 24 to 48 hours.
