Controlling Blood Flow: The Essential Role of Vascular Embolization Devices
Facilitating Minimally Invasive Procedures
The vascular plug market is a significant segment within the interventional radiology and cardiology devices industry. Vascular plugs are specialized medical devices designed to occlude or block blood flow in specific blood vessels. These devices are used in a variety of minimally invasive procedures to treat conditions such as arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), aneurysms, traumatic vascular injuries, and to control blood flow during certain surgical interventions. The ability to precisely and effectively block blood vessels using these devices has revolutionized the treatment of various vascular conditions, offering less invasive alternatives to traditional open surgery.
Applications in Interventional Medicine
Vascular plugs have a wide range of applications in interventional radiology, cardiology, and vascular surgery. They are commonly used to embolize (block) blood vessels supplying tumors, AVMs, and aneurysms, cutting off their blood supply and leading to their regression or preventing rupture. In cases of traumatic vascular injury or…
