embolizime
Embolizime, or embolization in English, is a medical procedure in which blood flow to a target tissue or lesion is deliberately occluded by introducing embolic material through a catheter, usually under imaging guidance. The goal is to cut off blood supply to a area of disease, thereby controlling bleeding, reducing tumor vascularity, or preparing a region for surgery.
Embolic agents used in embolizime vary widely. They include calibrated microspheres and polyvinyl alcohol particles, gelatin
Indications for embolizime span oncologic, vascular, and hemorrhagic conditions. In cancer care, it is used for
Risks and complications include non-target embolization leading to ischemia of healthy tissue, tissue necrosis, post-embolization syndrome
Outcomes vary by indication and patient; embolizime can be curative or palliative, often enabling less invasive
