    Author: Krajina A, Hlava A, Vacek Z, Podrabský P, Steinhart L.

    Abstract:
    From a large number of various embolic agents introduced in interventional radiology in last two decades it seems that an ideal embolic agent for intravascular embolization has not been found yet. The favourable properties of one of these agents - n-butyl 2-cyanoacrylate are presented by authors. It is concluded that the intravascular embolotherapy with n-butyl 2-cyanoacrylate performed in a strict accordance with the technical demands has proved to be efficient in the management of symptomatic arteriovenous malformations, in the percutaneous transhepatic embolization of gastroesophageal varices and in palliative embolization of renal tumors.
