Frequently Asked Questions about Embolization
What is a vascular plug and when is it indicated?
A vascular plug is a self-expanding nitinol occlusion device delivered via catheter to permanently block blood flow. Indications include AVM embolization, pre-surgical devascularization, endoleak treatment, and pulmonary AVM closure.
What is EVOH liquid embolic agent used for?
EVOH is a non-adhesive liquid embolic delivered in DMSO solvent with tantalum for fluoroscopic visibility. Primary indications: cerebral AVM embolization, peripheral aneurysm treatment, tumor devascularization, and endoleak sealing.
What is the difference between coil and liquid embolization?
Coil embolization uses metallic coils for focal vessel occlusion. Liquid embolization uses polymeric agents (EVOH or NBCA) that solidify in situ for diffuse vascular malformations. Choice depends on anatomy and flow characteristics.
