Abstract

In article number 1901071, Rahmi Oklu and co-workers give an overview of current and emerging technologies in endovascular embolization with respect to devices, materials, mechanisms, and design guidelines. In the cover image, the evolution of embolic materials is illustrated, from the 1950s, where a patient's own blood was heated to clot the blood and then reinjected, to liquid embolic agents in the 2000s, to the future, exemplified by advanced gel embolics.
