Embolization is a minimally invasive endovascular surgery technique increasingly used for vascular conditions. It offers a durable, effective treatment for complex lesions, including aneurysms and arteriovenous communications.

Area of Science:

  • Endovascular Surgery
  • Vascular Interventions

Background:

  • Embolization, a century-old technique, is now a leading endovascular surgery treatment.
  • Technological progress enhances access to difficult vascular lesions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the expanding applications of embolization in treating various vascular conditions.
  • Highlighting embolization as a first-line therapy for arteriovenous communications and aneurysms.

Main Methods:

  • Review of endovascular techniques for embolization.
  • Application in treating arteriovenous communications, visceral artery aneurysms, and aortic/iliac aneurysms.
  • Management of failed aneurysm exclusion and endoleak.

Main Results:

  • Embolization is a durable first-line therapy for many vascular conditions.

  • Successful application in treating visceral artery aneurysms with encouraging outcomes.
  • Effective in managing complex cases like aortic aneurysms, iliac artery aneurysms, and endoleaks.

    • Conclusions:

    • Embolization provides a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgery.
    • It treats previously inoperable lesions and reduces surgical morbidity.
    • Embolization is a versatile and effective endovascular treatment option.
