Abstract
Peripheral artery embolization procedures are performed for a variety of clinical indications including stopping life-threatening bleeding, reducing blood flow to cancerous tumors, and diverting blood away from arterial aneurysms, arteriovenous fistulas, and other vascular malformations. Typically, these procedures involve the implantation of coils or porous vascular plugs to slow blood flow and stimulate the formation of thrombus to achieve complete blood vessel occlusion. These devices often require substantial time to achieve complete occlusion, and can be susceptible to vessel recanalization, all of which can reduce the overall effectiveness of the treatment.
