Catheter and material selection for transarterial embolization: technical considerations. II. Materials.
In this second part of the report, the authors discuss the advantages and disadvantages of several embolization agents. These include Gelfoam, silicone spheres, polyvinyl alcohol foam (PVA), isobutyl-2-cyanoacrylate (IBCA), silicone fluid mixtures, and tantalum powder. The techniques employed and conditions under which these materials should be used are discussed.
