[Embolization with adipose tissue (author's transl)]

B A Grillo, B Fuster, A De Tenyi

    Neuroradiology
    |January 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Adipose tissue effectively occludes blood vessels in animal models, demonstrating its potential as an embolization agent. This research supports its clinical application in humans for vascular occlusion procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Surgical Innovation
    • Vascular Interventions

    Background:

    • Adipose tissue is a readily available biological material.
    • Its potential as an occlusive agent in vascular interventions requires thorough investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of adipose tissue as an embolization agent in animal models.
    • To provide radiologic and histologic documentation of adipose tissue embolization.

    Main Methods:

    • Animal experiments utilizing renal and carotid arteries as target parenchyma.
    • Four experimental series with varying survival periods (24-72h, 7-18 days, 45-58 days, 58-90 days).
    • Postembolization assessment through angiography and anatomopathology.

    Main Results:

    • Conclusive radiologic and histologic evidence supporting adipose tissue's embolization capabilities.
    • Successful occlusion demonstrated across different survival durations.
    • No significant adverse events reported that would preclude clinical use.

    Conclusions:

    • Adipose tissue is a viable and effective material for embolization.
    • The experimental findings support the translation of this technique to human clinical practice.
