Biocompatible Liquid Embolic for the Treatment of Microvascular Hemorrhage (Adv. Sci. 34/2024)

Biocompatible Liquid Embolic This cover demonstrates the various embolic options to microvascular bleeding. Microbeads randomly distribute occluding vessels based on their diameter. Coils and Obsidio gel embolic only occlude the larger upstream blood vessels. In beads, coils, and gels, distal microvascular bleeding continues to occur consistent with the clinical experience. P-LE, however, is biocompatible, does not require a polymerization step or toxic DMSO for delivery, and can reach distal microvessels achieving instant hemostasis.
