Michael Darcy: How Does Histology Help Us Develop Better Embolic Agents?
Results of histologic studies have also shown that the degree of ethanol dilution, the type of diluent used, and even the rate of injection affect the level of arterial occlusion, the potential for recanalization, and the type and extent of tissue necrosis.
