Trans-radial Superior Rectal Artery Embolisation for Haemorrhoids

"Once patients have provided informed consent to participate, an assessment of symptom severity will be obtained during the initial visit using the a standardised set of 4 validated scoring systems used in research of haemorrhoidal disease. These include the French bleeding score (FBS), Goligher classification of internal haemorrhoids (GS), quality of life score (QoL) and Visual analogue score for pain (VAS). Routine blood tests will be taken. During the procedure, routine observations will be recorded on the paper CRF. The data collected on the paper CRF will be entered onto the electronic CRF.~The Transarterial fluoroscopically guided superior rectal artery embolization procedure will be performed on all participants. It is a day case procedure performed under local anaesthetic."
