Abstract | PURPOSE: MATERIALS AND METHODS: RESULTS:
EmboGel effectively filled aneurysm cavities in the case of stent excluded saccular and fusiform aneurysms. EmboGel was readily dissolved by EmboClear in vitro and after in vivo embolization. When the distal abdominal aorta and pelvic arteries were occluded with EmboGel, within 1 minute of EmboClear infusion, patency of the aorta and most of the pelvic circulation was regained as noted by angiography. Embolization in the subclavian artery and numerous distal branches was rapidly dissolved by EmboClear. Finally, the carotid artery occluded with EmboGel regained patency after administration of EmboClear. CONCLUSIONS:
