Interventional Radiology

UFE is a non-surgical treatment for women with uterine fibroids causing heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, or pressure. The procedure blocks the blood supply to the fibroids, causing them to gradually shrink. The uterus is fully preserved.

Most patients go home the same day or after one night. Suitable for women who wish to maintain fertility or avoid hysterectomy.

PAE treats benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) by reducing blood flow to the enlarged prostate, relieving urinary symptoms without surgery. The procedure carries a significantly lower risk of sexual side effects compared to conventional surgical options.

Most patients are discharged within 1–2 days. PAE is covered by health insurance up to 50%.

TACE (Transarterial Chemoembolisation) is used for patients with primary liver cancer or cancer spread to the liver, particularly when surgery or radiation is not an option.

Chemotherapy is guided directly into the artery feeding the tumour, delivering a concentrated dose right at the source. The artery is then blocked, cutting off the tumour’s oxygen and nutrients and trapping the treatment where it is needed most.

TACE is used for:

Available at only a small number of hospitals in Vietnam. TACE is covered by health insurance up to 50%.

At FV, every TACE case is reviewed by a multidisciplinary tumour board together with our Oncology and Hepato-Biliary Surgery teams before treatment begins.

GAE is a minimally invasive procedure for patients with chronic knee pain caused by osteoarthritis, when pain medication, physiotherapy, and injections have not provided lasting relief, and knee replacement surgery is not yet the right step.

The procedure targets the abnormal blood vessels that feed chronic inflammation inside the knee joint. By blocking these vessels using tiny microspheres, GAE reduces inflammation and pain from within, without touching the bone or cartilage.

GAE may be right for you if:

Performed under local anaesthesia. Home within 24 hours. International studies report 70–85% of patients experience significant improvement in pain and function.

A non-surgical option for treating benign thyroid nodules that cause symptoms, using image-guided embolization to reduce nodule size without an operation.

Brain vessel conditions are not only adult diseases. Children can be born with arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), abnormal tangles of blood vessels that bypass normal circulation, and can suffer strokes at a young age.

FV is one of the only private hospitals in Vietnam offering interventional treatment for these conditions in children, including AVMs, paediatric stroke, and other vascular anomalies.

Our interventional team works together with neurology and paediatrics to ensure every child receives a coordinated response from diagnosis to recovery.

A minimally invasive procedure to seal brain aneurysms from the inside using metal coils or embolic materials, preventing rupture. Effective in both emergency and elective settings, with faster recovery than open skull surgery.
