Lateral Plantar Artery Embolization For Plantar Fasciitis

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if lateral plantar artery embolization using Lipiodol can safely and effectively treat chronic heel pain due to plantar fasciitis in adults aged 25 to 80. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does this procedure successfully reduce chronic heel pain as measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) over 12 months? How safe is the procedure, specifically regarding the frequency of serious medical problems or adverse events related to the device? Participants will: Undergo a minimally invasive procedure where a doctor uses a small tube (catheter) to inject a temporary blocking agent (LipioJoint) into specific blood vessels in the foot. Receive a phone call one day after the procedure to check for early side effects. Participate in four follow-up telehealth visits over the course of one year (at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months). Complete pain intensity surveys (VAS) and report any changes in their use of other therapies or medications during these visits.
