Purpose: To present the results of the Liquid Embolization of Arterial Hemorrhages in Peripheral Vasculature (LAVA) study evaluating safety and efficacy of Lava Liquid Embolic System (Lava LES), an ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH), for peripheral arterial hemorrhage (PAH).
Materials And Methods: LAVA was a pivotal, prospective, multicenter, single-group, centrally adjudicated study of adults with active PAH. Patients received EVOH at one of two viscosities, administered by experienced physicians.
Purpose: To assess the delivery, function, and patency of a new expanded polytetrafluoroethylene encapsulated TIPS stent- graft ("Liverty") in an animal model.
Materials And Methods: TIPS were created in 2 successive groups: 14 single & 10 overlapping devices, in swine weighing 52-64kg. Explants occurred at 30 (n=10) and 60 (n=14) days.
