Abstract
Method and system for embolization treatment at a target site within a vessel using an endovascular embolization system. A microcatheter is navigated to the target site in the vessel. Embolic solution is injected into the vessel. Proximal migration in the vessel of the injected embolic solution is prevented by injecting into the vessel a glucose solution.
Claims20
A method for embolization treatment at a target site within a vessel using an endovascular embolization system, the method comprising the steps of:
- navigating a microcatheter to the target site in the vessel;
- and
- injecting into the vessel embolic solution;
- and
- preventing proximal migration in the vessel of the injected embolic solution by injecting into the vessel a glucose solution.
An endovascular embolization system comprising:
- a microcatheter having a first passageway through which an embolic solution is injectable;
- and separate from the first passageway, the microcatheter further including a second passageway through which a glucose solution is injectable thereby preventing proximal migration of the embolic solution once injected from the microcatheter.
