Embolization of vascular and neoplastic lesions of the head, neck, and spine may be performed either as primary therapy (particularly for lesions which are difficult to approach surgically) or preoperatively to decrease blood loss. Polyvinyl alcohol foam (PAF) offers a number of advantages over other embolic material, including biocompatibility, promotion of progressive thrombosis and fibrosis, permanence, compressibility, and manageability. The clinical cases illustrate the kinds of lesions that are amenable to embolization, including arteriovenous malformations, arteriovenous fistulas, meningiomas, and nasopharyngeal tumors. Techniques and possible complications are discussed.read more

A new liquid material for embolization of arteriovenous malformations.
TL;DR: A liquid material is developed that is a mixture of ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer and metrizamide dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide that was used for embolization of three left cerebral arteriovenous malformations with satisfactory results.

Anatomically shaped vasoocclusive device and method of making the same
TL;DR: In this article, an occlusive device for inserting into body cavities or vesicles is described. And the device is typically introduced through a catheter in the substantially linear inoperable configuration, where a plurality of such substantially spherical strand portions nest concentrically with each other in the operable configuration.

n-Butyl 2-cyanoacrylate--substitute for IBCA in interventional neuroradiology: histopathologic and polymerization time studies.
TL;DR: It is concluded that n-butyl 2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA), a tissue adhesive approved for surgical use in some countries, has clinical and biologic behaviors similar to IBCA, and therefore should be an acceptable alternative to I BCA for intravascular use.

Apparatus for deployment of micro-coil using a catheter
Deepak Gandhi,Kamal Ramzipoor +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a micro-coil is attached to a pusher member by a tubular collar that can be heated by an electrical resistance coil to expand the collar and release and deploy the therapeutic device.
Patent
Vasoocclusive device for treatment of aneurysms
TL;DR: In this paper, a shape memory nickel titanium alloy micro-cable is used for interventional vasculature occlusion. But, it is not suitable for the use in vascular surgery.

Therapeutic transcatheter arterial embolization.
TL;DR: In a case of massive gastrointestinal bleeding from a gastric ulcer which had eroded the splenic artery, Gelfoam (gelatin) plugs injected through a gray Kifa catheter resulted in immediate cessation of bleeding, preventing fatal hemorrhage.

Transcatheter Therapeutic Arterial Embolization
TL;DR: Hemorrhage was stopped successfully in all of the patients with gastrointestinal bleeding and 6 of the 7 patients with active bleeding from other sites, and there were no significant complications or sequelae.
