Abstract
This article outlines general concepts of, and strategies for, therapeutic embolization throughout the body, touching on all major arterial distributions. Clinical scenarios that allow or prevent safe embolization of vessels are presented. Specific agents are recommended where appropriate, as are alternate approaches when embolization is not an option. Pre-embolization precautions and adjunctive measures are described in high-risk areas.Keywords: Embolization; angiography; trauma
