What is Bariatric Artery Embolization (BAE)?

Bariatric Artery Embolization (BAE) reduces the blood supply to the stomach, altering the hunger hormone (Grehlin), making you less hungry.

How is It Done?

The procedure is performed exclusively by interventional radiologists, who use image guidance and catheters to access the specific blood vessels to this portion of the stomach through a small nick in the skin at either the groin or wrist.

The physician then injects microscopic beads to decrease blood flow to that portion of the stomach, thereby suppressing some of the body's hunger signals, leading to reduced appetite and weight loss.

A catheter is removed at the end of the procedure, and a Band Aid is put on the site of the incision.

Our Procedure

A quick, painless, non-surgical procedure via the wrist or leg to pass a catheter to the blood vessels of the stomach. A safe microscopic particle, Embozene, is delivered to the upper portion of the stomach to reduce Grehlin (a hunger hormone). The catheter is removed, and a Band Aid is placed an hour after starting.
