Vessel occlusion is a minimally invasive procedure intended to occlude (block) blood vessels for conditions such as hemorrhage, gastrointestinal bleeding, one or more abnormal openings between an artery and a vein, or aneurysm. It is performed under x-ray guidance, and involves the precise placement of an embolic agent such as particles or coils into a blood vessel. Boston Scientific’s new Interlock™ Fibered IDC Occlusion System is designed to give physicians appropriate control and precision in coil placement.
