Comparing Rectal Artery Embolization and Surgery for Treatment of Bleeding Grade 2 and 3 Internal Hemorrhoids (HemEmbo)
Randomized Phase II Trial of Rectal Artery Embolization Versus Operative Hemorrhoidectomy for Treatment of Bleeding Grade 2 and 3 Internal Hemorrhoids
This Phase II study will compare rectal artery embolization with operative hemorrhoidectomy in adults with symptomatic bleeding grade 2 and 3 internal hemorrhoids. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two treatments. The study will evaluate how each treatment affects quality of life, symptom improvement, bleeding control, recovery time, and treatment-related side effects.
The main question this study is trying to answer is whether rectal artery embolization can provide better short-term quality of life compared with surgical hemorrhoidectomy one month after treatment. The study will also examine whether rectal artery embolization allows patients to return to work and normal activities sooner, reduces hemorrhoid-related bleeding, and has a different rate of treatment-related complications compared with surgery.
A total of approximately 102 adult participants will be enrolled at a single academic medical center. The results of this study may help determine whether rectal artery embolization is an effective and less invasive alternative to surgical hemorrhoidectomy for the treatment of bleeding grade 2 and 3 internal hemorrhoids.

干预/治疗 |
|---|---|
|
实验性的:Rectal Artery Embolization
Participants will undergo rectal artery embolization for the treatment of symptomatic bleeding Goligher grade 2 and 3 internal hemorrhoids. |
A minimally invasive procedure in which a doctor uses imaging guidance to place a small catheter into an artery and injects embolization materials to block the blood vessels supplying the hemorrhoids. This reduces blood flow and helps shrink the hemorrhoids. |
|
有源比较器:Operative Hemorrhoidectomy
Participants will undergo operative hemorrhoidectomy for the treatment of symptomatic bleeding Goligher grade 2 and 3 internal hemorrhoids. |
A surgical procedure performed under anesthesia in which the surgeon removes or excises the hemorrhoidal tissue. This is the current standard treatment for severe hemorrhoids. |

Quality of Life Following Treatment
大体时间:Baseline and 1 month after treatment
|
Comparison of quality-of-life, as measured by the Short Health Scale for Hemorrhoid Disease, 1 month following superior rectal artery embolization and open surgical hemorrhoidectomy. Scores range from 4 to 28, with lower scores indicating better quality of life and higher scores indicating worse quality of life. |

Time to Return to Work
大体时间:From treatment through return to work or normal activities, up to 6 months after treatment
|
Comparison of time to return to work following superior rectal artery embolization and open surgical hemorrhoidectomy. |
From treatment through return to work or normal activities, up to 6 months after treatment
|
|
Time to Return to Pre-Intervention Activities
大体时间:From treatment until return to pre-intervention activities, up to 6 months after treatment
|
Comparison of time to return to pre-intervention activities following superior rectal artery embolization and open surgical hemorrhoidectomy as measured by selected elements of the adapted VEINES questionnaire. Scores range from 3 to 12, with higher scores indicating less limitation in daily, social, and leisure activities and therefore better functional recovery. Lower scores indicate greater activity limitation and poorer functional recovery. |
From treatment until return to pre-intervention activities, up to 6 months after treatment

Achievement of French Bleeding Score <2
大体时间:6 months after treatment
|
Comparison of proportion of patients that achieve French Bleeding Scores < 2 following superior rectal artery embolization and open surgical hemorrhoidectomy for the treatment of bleeding Goligher Grade 2 and 3 internal hemorrhoids. For the French Bleeding Score, total scores range from 0 to 9, with lower scores indicating less bleeding and better clinical outcomes, and higher scores indicating more severe hemorrhoidal bleeding and worse clinical outcomes. |

Comparison of adverse events following superior rectal artery embolization and open surgical hemorrhoidectomy for the treatment of bleeding Goligher Grade 2 and 3 internal hemorrhoids. |
