The invention relates to a support apparatus (2) for supporting a user in performing an embolization procedure during which an insertion element (11) is to be inserted into a living (8) being in order to release an embolization agent for treating a target region (9) within the living being. A position tracking unit (17) tracks the position of the insertion element within the living being and a pressure determining unit (18) determines the local blood pressure at the insertion element within the living being. Based on the tracked position of the insertion element and the determined local blood pressure at the insertion element, a support information generating unit (14) generates support information which is shown to the user on a display (23). It is thus possible to provide the user with additional information that may allow him/her to more accurately release the embolization agent.
