embolization

It costs nothing, is well understood, and doesn’t have the potential for embolization or immune system interaction weirdness.

We're a bit more limited with hemorrhagic stroke, but some surgeries are successful (clipping, coil embolization, etc).

That procedure is called embolization, if it works you're in and out on the same day.

Concern over embolization of the clotted material led them to create a gauze-bag version.

My dad was telling me how interventional radiologists have been doing chemo embolization, where they deliver the chemotherapy directly at the tumor site/organ.

I’ve done procedures to embolize the prostate (helps shrink it), and gonadal vein embolization (for varices).

It happened in the hospital during an embolization procedure.

That seems like the place most fraught with danger of embolization distally to the mesentery and the generation of immune system interaction weirdness beyond my knowledge base.

There are also some interesting ideas in the interventional field regarding minimally invasive embolization of the left gastric artery to reduce hunger via inhibition of ghrelin production.

Additionally, this is a similar idea to chemo embolization procedures (something I know is done in the US for some liver metastasis, but is being investigated for other solid tumors), where a catheter delivers a massive dose of chemotherapy at an artery supplying the tumor, and then closes that artery off.
