Comparison of the Effectiveness of Embolic Agents for Bronchial Artery Embolization: Gelfoam versus Polyvinyl Alcohol

Abstract

Polyvinyl alcohol appears to be the more optimal modality compared to gelfoam particle for bronchial artery embolization in order to improve the mid-term results. The material size of PVA needs to be selected to match with the vascular diameter.
