Summary
Haemostatic embolization is a safe and effective technique for controlling bleeding in over 190 patients, even those who are debilitated or have disseminated intravascular coagulation.
Area of Science:
- Interventional Radiology
- Vascular Surgery
Context:
- Haemostatic embolization is an increasingly utilized procedure.
- Vascular access is now widely available for embolization.
- Over 1,100 embolizations were performed, with 190 for haemostatic purposes.
Purpose:
- To highlight the efficacy and safety of haemostatic embolization.
- To emphasize the broad applicability of the technique.
Summary:
- Haemostatic embolization allows for simultaneous lesion identification and bleeding control.
- The technique is accessible across all vascular territories.
- It is a viable option for debilitated patients, including those with disseminated intravascular coagulation.
Impact:
- Haemostatic embolization offers a minimally invasive solution for bleeding control.
- The procedure can be safely performed in complex patient populations.
- Advances in materials and training have expanded the reach of this interventional radiology technique.
