title: [Arterial thrombosis induced by direct electric current. Clinical applications (author's transl)].
abstract: Authors have demonstrated that it is possible to induce arterial thrombosis by applying direct electric current (10 mA -V). By the use of this method several thromboses were formed in the rabbit. This technique is now well established and the first clinical applications on human arteries give rise to considerable hopes, since it is simple, reliable, and much less dangerous than other types of embolisation. Experiments are being done to apply this technique to aneurysms.
