In recent years, liquid embolics have increased in popularity among interventional radiologists, as these agents boast both high embolic efficiency and good clinical results. However, the learning curve is steep, as liquid management and the technical aspects are different and more complex than using conventional coils or particles, and training with these agents should take place in a controlled environment.
Liquid embolics can generally be classified into three main groups: cyanoacrylate (glue, NBCA), non-adhesive DMSO-based embolics (ethylene vinyl alcohol co-polymer, EVOH), and sclerosants foams. The indications for use, chemical properties, clinical advantages, and risks of these can be vastly different from those for sclerosants and cyanoacrylates, and knowing the variances is essential for a well-trained IR.
Training with liquid embolics in real models allows IRs to gain the expertise needed for the management of these products. Due to the similarity between pig and human anatomy, pigs will be used in…
