These non-biodegradable microspheres absorb water in varying degrees and can be injected easily through microcatheters due to their slippery and compressible characteristics. The material was successfully used of embolization of 4 vascular intracranial tumours and 2 spinal vascular lesions in the cervical region, by superselective delivery. Histopathology confirmed absolute inertness of the microspheres.BiomaterialsHYDROLYZED MICROSPHERES FROM CROSS-LINKED POLYMETHYL METHACRYLATE (HYDROGEL) - A NEW EMBOLIC MATERIAL FOR INTERVENTIONAL NEURORADIOLOGY
