Which embolic agents should be used to occlude small vessels and in what clinical scenarios?
This review provides guidance on the selection and use of commercially available embolic agents for small-vessel occlusion.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May guide embolic agent selection for small-vessel occlusion; leaves open need for prospective validation.
In Part 1 of this two-part article, we discussed commonly used large-vessel embolic agents and clinical scenarios in which the agents might be used. We also discussed how to choose between the multitude of embolic agents that are currently commercially available. In this article, we will focus on embolic agents used to occlude small vessels and when to choose which agent.
