Embolization — a minimally invasive procedure that blocks blood flow to a targeted area through a small catheter — is quickly moving from a little-known, behind-the-scenes hospital technique to a mainstream treatment option patients are actively seeking out. ECCO Medical, led by interventional radiologist Dr. Aaron Kovaleski, is at the forefront of that shift, both in the range of conditions it treats and in how it educates patients about their options.
ECCO Medical now offers embolization for a wide variety of conditions, including uterine fibroids, enlarged prostate, joint pain, hemorrhoids, chronic foot pain, tumors, and liver cancer — all without open surgery, general anesthesia, or the longer recovery times traditional procedures require. The clinic has also become the first outpatient-based lab in the region to bring in the GE Allia system, one of the most advanced image-guidance platforms available, giving physicians clearer real-time visualization during procedures with lower radiation exposure.
“Patients are realizing they don’t need to go under the knife for many conditions that once required surgery,” said Dr. Kovaleski.
Beyond the clinical side, ECCO Medical has built a concierge-style patient experience — handling insurance pre-authorizations, coordinating transportation, and even securing discounted rates at a nearby hotel for patients traveling from out of town — to make the treatment journey as smooth as possible from first consultation to recovery.
What This Means for Patients
For patients who’ve been told surgery is their only option, this expansion means more conditions can now be treated through a small catheter instead of an operating room — with faster recovery, fewer complications, and no need for general anesthesia. It also means Colorado patients have access to some of the most advanced imaging technology available for these procedures, right here at home, along with a care team built to remove the everyday logistical barriers that often keep people from getting treatment.
