Abstract No. 130 Evaluation of an experimental radiopaque microsphere in an ex vivo perfusion model

Transarterial microembolization serves as a valuable procedure for liver-directed tumor treatment in interventional radiology. Our group has developed a novel radiopaque microsphere, Lipiodol Emulsion in Alginate Microspheres (LEAMs), which has future applications for radio- and chemoembolization. The purpose of this study is to characterize LEAMs using an institutionally developed ex vivo perfusion model with comparison to a comparable clinically available microsphere.
