May not achieve permanent occlusion in patients; leaves open testing of durable embolic alternatives for clinical translation.
Does transcatheter embolization with autologous clot, oxycel, or gelfoam provide permanent vascular occlusion in a swine model?
Autologous clot, oxycel, and gelfoam are not suitable for permanent vascular occlusion, as they fail to sustain occlusion at 4 months in a swine model.
Barth et al. (1977) studied this question.
