Because PAE is an outpatient procedure, no anesthesia is required, only a mild numbing where the catheter will be inserted.

The interventional radiologist uses imaging guidance to insert a tiny catheter into an artery in the patient’s upper thigh or wrist, and then guides it through the body’s blood vessels to the arteries supplying blood to the prostate. Tiny beads called ‘microspheres’ are released through the catheter and into the arteries, blocking blood flow to the prostate.

Reduced blood flow = shrinking prostate and symptom relief!

Did you know one of the largest veins in your body is called the Inferior Vena Cava (IVC)?
It’s like a highway for blood, carrying it from your lower body back to your heart.

For some patients at risk of dangerous blood clots (deep vein thrombosis, or DVT), doctors may place an IVC filter inside this vein. The filter acts like a tiny safety net, catching clots before they can travel to the lungs and cause a pulmonary embolism.

Key points:
- Minimally invasive procedure
- Often used for patients who cannot take blood thinners
- Can be temporary or permanent, depending on your needs

The IVC may not get much attention, but it plays a vital role in protecting your health.

Everyday tasks can feel impossible with spine pain. That’s where Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty come in.

These are minimally invasive procedures performed by interventional radiologists to stabilize fractured vertebrae and relieve pain.

Vertebroplasty: Medical-grade cement is carefully injected into the fractured bone to strengthen and stabilize it.
Kyphoplasty: A small balloon is used to create space before cement is placed, which can also help restore some lost height of the vertebra.

- Minimally invasive
- Outpatient procedure
- Rapid pain relief for many patients
- Quick return to normal activities

These treatments can make a life-changing difference for those with painful spinal fractures due to osteoporosis or injury. Learn more at https://www.lakelandvascular.com/services/spine-pain-fractures/

Both are minimally invasive imaging tests that let doctors see your blood vessels:
- Angiogram: Looks at blood flow in veins and arteries anywhere in the body.
- Arteriogram: Focuses specifically on arteries, the vessels that carry blood away from the heart.

How it works: A tiny catheter is guided to the vessels, contrast dye is injected, and X-rays create detailed images.

✅ Helps detect blockages, aneurysms, or other vessel problems
✅ Usually outpatient
✅ Quick recovery

Understanding your blood vessels can help prevent serious heart or vascular problems. Ask your doctor if one of these tests is right for you!

PNS is a breakthrough, minimally invasive treatment that uses a tiny device to target the nerves causing your pain—at the source.

Whether it’s back pain, shoulder pain, post-surgical pain, or nerve damage, PNS can help reduce discomfort and improve your quality of life—without opioids, without major surgery.

Here’s why patients are choosing PNS:
✔️ Minimally invasive
✔️ Reversible and adjustable
✔️ Little to no downtime
✔️ Targeted pain relief, not a band-aid

If you've tried medications, injections, or even surgery without lasting relief, this could be the solution you've been waiting for.

Pelvic pain that just won't go away? For some women, the cause may be Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS), often linked to enlarged ovarian veins.

✨ Ovarian Vein Embolization (OVE) is a minimally invasive, image-guided treatment that closes off these problematic veins to relieve pressure and pain.

✅ Outpatient procedure
✅ No large incisions
✅ Quick recovery
✅ Long-lasting relief

If chronic pelvic pain is affecting your life, call 863.577.0316 to schedule a consultation.

Here’s what most doctors don't tell you 👇
Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a non-surgical procedure that can shrink fibroids, relieve symptoms, and keep your uterus intact!

What most people don't know:
🔹 UFE treats all fibroids at once—even deep ones surgeons may miss
🔹 It has up to a 90% success rate for reducing heavy bleeding and pain
🔹 Your fibroids don't have to be “huge” to qualify
🔹 You can still get pregnant after UFE (talk to your doctor)
🔹 Most people return to normal life in under a week—no hospital stay

UFE is done through a tiny pinhole—no stitches, no removal, no hormone disruption.
It’s time more women knew their options.

Yes they can, and it can be a powerful treatment option.

At Lakeland Vascular Institute, our interventional radiologists use a minimally invasive technique called embolization to treat certain tumors by cutting off their blood supply. This starves the tumor of nutrients, causing it to shrink or stop growing.

In some cases, we combine embolization with chemotherapy or radiation, delivering treatment directly to the tumor—minimizing side effects to the rest of your body.

✨ It's a great option for patients who aren't candidates for surgery—or want to avoid it.

About LVI

The Lakeland Vascular Institute (LVI) was founded nearly a decade ago to meet the growing needs of patients and their doctors in our community. Our facilities utilize the latest technology to diagnose and treat disease, chronic pain and other conditions with greater accuracy, less invasively and—in many cases—less expensively than available before.

LVI is a subsidiary of Radiology and Imaging Specialists, a local community-based radiology group in Lakeland. By working together, we provide a multi-disciplinary approach to the diagnosis and treatment of our patients. From peripheral vascular disease, cancer, and patients on dialysis, to the treatment of compression fractures and uterine fibroids, the Institute is designed to make the process of diagnosis and treatment an easier process for our patients to receive the medical attention they need.

Our accredited facilities are staffed with experienced and dedicated radiologists. These doctors are available 24-hours a day to provide interventional radiology services, give quick and precise film interpretations and also to answer any questions from our patients or referring physicians.
