Embolization is a procedure in which emboli are introduced into the body to selectively occlude (i.e. deliberately block) a blood vessel. This is done to prevent blood flow to an area of the body for the purpose of shrinking a tumor or blocking an aneurysm. Procedural embolics include:
Beads
Coils
Foams
Gels
Other Blockage Devices
Embolization is commonly used in the following healthcare fields:
Oncology
Pulmonology
Peripheral Vascular
Neurovascular
