SIX PRODUCTS IN A DROP. ADHESIVE High tensile strength. Acceptable minimum load is ≥ 435 N [approx. 18 Kgf/cm2].2-3 Applied with dedicated nebulizing devices it forms a thin film with sealing and waterproof properties due to its synthetic nature and strong adhesive power.3-6 Blocks bacterial growth for an average of 7 days.10-12 Injected into the lumen of a vessel/varices, polymerize generating a plastic cap causing thrombosis and subsequent fibrosis and sclerosis.13-17 Injected into a blood vessel polymerizes building a cast adhers to the vessel occluding it such as an embolus. It causes completely...

INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY PRE POST EMBOLIZATION ARTERIAL EMBOLIZATION FOR BONE TUMOURS 31

HEAD & NECK AVM HEMORRHAGE IN A YOUNG PATIENT 62 After Glubran®2 injection the AVM was completely obliterated.

GUIDELINES FOR USING 1. Careful preliminary angiographic examination 2. Selective and superselective catheterisation of the area to be embolised Identification of the afferent and collateral vessels and any eventual AV fistulas, with oblique and cranio-caudal projections 3. Careful hemodynamic evaluation 4. Dilute with Lipiodol®: a) To delay the Glubran®2 to polymerisation start time b) To make it radiopaque 5. Mix the two compounds uniformly Immediately before injection (with a 3-way resistant stopcock or in a steel bowl) Polymerisation start 6. Wash the catheter with glucose or dextrose solution...
