embolisation

The clot can then move to an artery and cause arterial embolisation.

Coil embolisation is not appropriate if a future pregnancy is possible.

These indicate embolisation to the heart that has caused myocardial infarction.

Embolisation involves inserting a catheter along the blood vessels to the tumour.

Other increased risks are of embolisation and stroke, heart failure and sudden cardiac death.

Prior to embolisation of the left ovarian vein, a careful search for such diagnoses is essential.

Large angiomyolipoma can be treated with embolisation.

Interventional procedures, such as thermoablation, angioplasty, embolisation or biopsy, may be performed.

Large angiomyolipomas are treated by embolisation which reduces the risk of haemorrhage and can also shrink the lesion.

Symptoms of embolisation in an organ vary with the organ involved but commonly include:

If it is plugged it becomes a hazard as a thrombus will eventually form with an accompanying risk of embolisation.

It demonstrated a very low risk of embolisation even in the absence of long term anticoagulation treatment of the patients.

Uterine artery embolisation for symptomatic fibroids: Clinical results in 400 women with imaging follow-up.

The so-called 'risk factors' for embolisation, with the exception of atrial fibrillation, can be called, at best, 'scientific illusions'.

Another approach to treatment involves catheter-based embolisation, often preceded by phlebography to visualise the vein on X-ray fluoroscopy.

However, if a patient coughs up blood (haemoptysis), treatment may be required (usually angiography and embolisation, surgery or taking tranexamic acid).

Embolisation through angiography is occasionally contemplated with severely bleeding lesions that cannot be visualised on colonoscopy.

Thus, risk factors for atherosclerosis are risk factors for arterial embolisation as well:

Myoglobins and creatine kinase are also elevated in the blood in embolisation in other locations.

Endoscopic trans-arterial embolisation (TAE) is preferred initially because of high success rate and less complication.

A ruptured aneurysm in an angiomyolipoma leads to blood loss that must be stopped (though embolisation) and compensated for (through intravenous fluid replacement).

Some centres may perform preventative selective embolisation of the angiomyolipoma if it is more than 4 cm in diameter, due to the risk of haemorrhage.

Uterine artery embolisation (UAE)

Thromboembolism and fat embolisation: although liposuction is a low-risk procedure for thromboembolism including pulmonary embolism, the risk cannot be ignored.

It can be triggered by painful crisis, respiratory infection, bone-marrow embolisation, or possibly by atelectasis, opiate administration, or surgery.
