Forcible Intraarterial Injection of a Nonadhesive Liquid Embolic Agent under Microballoon Occlusion: Experimental Study in Swine Liver

Conclusions: Transcatheter embolization by forcible intraarterial injection of an EVAL/ethanol mixture under microballoon occlusion was feasible and achieved the simultaneous embolization of hepatic artery, portal vein, and sinusoids in swine liver, resulting in complete necrosis of the segment that received embolization.
