Nowadays the ultimate goal of treatment is\nto block the bleeding with minimally-invasive techniques to minimize post-procedural pain.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Objective:<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The aim of this study is to assess the preliminary results of the emborrhoid technique\n(embolization of the superior rectal arteries branches) as a new tool for the proctologist to treat severe\nbleeding hemorrhoids causing anemia. Many categories of patients might benefit from this\ntreatment, such as patients not eligible for conventional surgery, patients not responding to conventional\ntreatment and fit patients with severe bleeding who refused endorectal surgical therapy.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>From May 2017 to November 2018 a total of 16 patients with chronic rectal bleeding\ndue to hemorrhoids underwent super-selective embolization of the superior rectal arteries at the department\nof General Surgery in La Spezia, S.
