Selecting appropriate animal models for embolization research is crucial. This review guides researchers in choosing the best embolization model based on animal size, target organs, delivery methods, and evaluation techniques.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • Embolization techniques are vital preclinical research tools for developing new therapies.
  • Choosing the correct animal model is critical for successful embolization research and clinical translation.
  • Variables like animal size, target organ, delivery route, and evaluation methods influence model selection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and compare commonly used animal models for embolization research.
  • To provide guidance for selecting the optimal embolization model based on research needs.
  • To highlight key considerations for evaluating embolization outcomes in preclinical studies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on animal models for embolization.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Analysis of commonly used research animals (rabbits, dogs, rats) and target organs (kidney, liver).
  • Description of embolization delivery techniques (transcatheter, open surgery, direct injection) and evaluation methods (macroscopic, angiogram, histology).

    • Main Results:

    • Rabbits, dogs, and rats are frequently used for embolization studies, often targeting the kidney or liver.
    • Transcatheter embolization is the most common delivery method, supplemented by open surgery or direct arterial injection.
    • Standard evaluation includes macroscopic observation, angiography, and histological analysis.

    Conclusions:

    • A systematic approach to selecting animal models is essential for effective embolization research.
    • Understanding the strengths and limitations of different models facilitates informed decision-making.
    • This review provides a framework for researchers to choose the most suitable embolization model for their specific project.
