Superior rectal artery embolisation for haemorrhoids

Current evidence on the safety and efficacy of superior rectal artery embolisation for haemorrhoids is inadequate in quality and quantity. Therefore, this procedure should only be used in the context of research. Find out what only in research means on the NICE interventional procedures guidance page.

Further research should report details of patient selection, and follow‑up efficacy (including symptom relief), need for subsequent treatments, quality of life and safety outcomes for at least 1 year.
