Hypervascular Tumor Embolization

Hypervascular tumor embolization is designed to reduce or block the blood supply to a tumor. This is done by injecting a blocking agent (an embolic) through a catheter into a blood vessel, blocking the blood that feeds the tumor. Blocking the blood supply to the hypervascular tumor is intended to result in shrinking or death of the tumor.
