Embolization Agents—Which One Should Be Used When? Part 2: Small-Vessel Embolization

Abstract

In Part 1 of this two-part article, we discussed commonly used large-vessel embolic agents and clinical scenarios in which the agents might be used. We also discussed how to choose between the multitude of embolic agents that are currently commercially available. In this article, we will focus on embolic agents used to occlude small vessels and when to choose which agent.
