title: Experimental investigation of a new liquid embolization method: enhancing effect of 25% ethanol on conjugated estrogen.
abstract: A new liquid embolization material applicable to intracranial lesions was evaluated by selective renal artery embolization in mongrel dogs. Absolute and diluted ethanol, estrogen, and estrogen in 25% ethanol (ethanol-estrogen) were injected. The embolization and side effects were investigated angiographically and histologically. Ethanol-estrogen caused similar embolization to absolute ethanol, but no direct damage to perivascular tissue, and is considered a promising embolization agent in intravascular surgery.
