Vascular occlusion with a ferromagnetic particle suspension. An experimental investigation in rabbits.
Magnetically controlled iron thrombosis has been attempted in rabbits. A horseshoe magnet across the jugular vein could arrest injected iron particles in the blood stream so that a well localized, solid thrombus developed. The connection between the strength and orientation of the magnetic field and the force developed on the iron particles was also investigated.
