  [### Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia Program (HHT)

A program focused on providing diagnosis and treatment for hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, a rare blood vessel disorder and helping manage complications such as bleeding and anemia with coordinated specialty care.

 ### Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)

A minimally invasive procedure that treats fibroids in the uterus which are causing heavy menstrual bleeding, pain, and pressure on the bladder or bowel. Using fluoroscopy, which is real-time x-ray, a doctor inserts medication into the uterus and fibroids that will block the arteries providing blood to the fibroids. This stops them from growing and causes them to shrink.

  ### Embolization

To put a medication or device into the bloodstream that will block blood vessels.

  ### Kyphoplasty

Kyphoplasty is a procedure that can help stop pain caused by a spinal fracture. A small incision is made in the back and the doctor uses fluoroscopy (real time X-ray), to place a narrow tube up to the affected vertebrae. Then, through the tube, the doctor inflates a balloon that raises the vertebrae and places a cement-like material to stabilize the bone where it should be.

  ### Vertebroplasty

A procedure that can help stop pain caused by a spinal fracture. A small incision is made in the back and the doctor places cement like material in the vertebrae to stabilize the bone where it should be.

  ### Chemoembolization

This is when medications to treat cancer are injected directly into the blood vessels that feed a cancerous tumor.

  ### Radiofrequency Ablation for Cancer

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a cancer treatment in which radiofrequency energy—derived from electric and magnetic energy—is sent by means of a narrow probe that is placed in the center of a lung tumor. Surgical incisions are not required, and the probes are placed into tumors using CT scan to guide the physician. RFA is a newer method of treating lung cancer, as well as cancers of the liver, kidney, and bone. RFA can target and kill cancerous cells sparing healthy tissues that are close to the cancer. Systemic treatments such as chemotherapy and certain types of radiation are absorbed into both healthy and diseased tissue, whereas RFA is delivered directly into a tumor.

  ### Venous Access

Venous Access is when a catheter is placed inside of a vein, usually in the arm, neck, or chest, so that medication can be delivered directly into the blood, without repeatedly puncturing blood vessels.

  ### Carotid Stenting

When a stent, a small mesh tube that's used to treat narrow or weak arteries, is placed into the carotid artery in the neck to open the artery and allow better blood flow.

  ### Endovascular stent grafts

This is used to treat aneurysms using a minimally invasive approach. In the procedure, the doctor threads a stent (small mesh tube) through a catheter inside of the aneurysm so that blood flows in the proper direction.
