Experimental study of the POP technique: focus on the physical basis of the process.

CONCLUSIONS: The experiments bring to light the importance of practical features such as the orientation of the syringe and the nature of the polyurethane or silicone catheters. Then the analysis enables the definition of practical rules for safe practice of the POP technique. This study will impact clinicians as many may be tempted to use the technique in hope to resolve the occlusion safely, in a timely manner.
