About Pasadena Health & Surgical Institute

Pasadena Health & Surgical Institute stands as a foremost multi-specialty center in Southern California committed to offering innovative, minimally invasive solutions for knee pain. Under the mission to enhance quality of life through medical innovation, the institute provides a specialized alternative to traditional surgery, aiding patients in finding lasting relief with minimal disruption to their daily activities. The clinic specializes in Hemorrhoidal Artery Embolization (HAE)—an advanced interventional radiology procedure tailored for those who have not achieved success with conventional methods like physiotherapy or pain medications. Advanced Treatment: Hemorrhoidal Artery Embolization (HAE) Precision Targeting: With the use of real-time X-ray guidance (fluoroscopy), our specialists navigate a micro-catheter to the arteries affecting the knee area. Non-Surgical Shrinkage: By releasing tiny particles or coils to limit blood flow at the source, the condition improves naturally over time. This method effectively addresses symptoms such as pain and swelling without tissue removal. No ‘Knee Trauma’: Unlike traditional knee surgeries, HAE is executed through a tiny, pinhole-sized entry point in the groin or wrist, avoiding visible incisions or stitches around the knee. Rapid Recovery: Most patients return home the same day and can resume their normal activities significantly more swiftly than with surgical alternatives, typically within 24 to 48 hours. Why Patients Choose PHSI Interventional Expertise: Our team is composed of exceptionally skilled interventional radiologists and surgical specialists who utilize the latest imaging technology to ensure the highest levels of safety and accuracy. State-of-the-Art Outpatient Setting: PHSI offers a contemporary, boutique environment aimed at efficiency and comfort, allowing patients to bypass the complexities and higher infection risks tied to extensive hospital stays. Patient-Centered Approach: We prioritize long-term wellness and personalized care, ensuring each patient is fully informed and comfortable throughout their treatment journey.
