More specifically, the procedure consists in the introduction of autologous emboli or other embolic materials (eg surgical glue, metal coils, sclerosing drugs, etc.) through endovascular catheters or direct puncture of the part to be treated.
Embolization can be performed to resolve numerous conditions, including acute haemorrhages, vascular pathologies, tumors and uterine fibroids. The operation is performed under radiological control, following the administration of a local or general anesthetic.
Embolization can be used alone or in combination with other treatments, such as traditional surgery or radiation therapy.
or venous that supply the lesion.
Embolization is obtained with the use of particular materials and / or substances, which are introduced through endovascular catheters or direct puncture of the part.
The purpose of embolization is to permanently or temporarily suppress the vascular supply of a lesion, a malformation or a tumor neoformation. The result of the occlusion of the afferent vessels is an ischemic necrosis, with the elimination or reduction of the mass or the wound, without having to resort to traditional surgery.
