Glossary Embolization

medical procedure blocking blood flow to specific body areas

Embolization is a medical procedure used to block blood flow to a specific area of the body. This is often done to stop bleeding, shrink tumors by cutting off their blood supply, or treat abnormal blood vessels. During the procedure, a doctor inserts materials like tiny beads or coils into the blood vessels through a catheter.
