Technical Considerations for Microcatheter Use
A 1-mL or 2.5-mL Luer Lock syringe is recommended when GS is injected through a microcatheter.16 In addition, the injection of normal saline between GS injections is recommended to avoid clogging of the microcatheter. Care should be taken when larger particles (>2 mm) are used because fragmentation can occur after the microcatheter is passed, resulting in very small particles and a more distal embolization than intended.
17
Size and Distribution in the Vessels
The size of the GS is not uniform in both manually prepared GS sheets and preshaped GS.
14,17,18
Specifically for the sheet-shaped GS, the size and uniformity of the particles largely depend on the preparation technique. Hand-cut GS is uniform in size, whereas the pumping technique produces particles with various sizes.18 Katsumori and Kasahara18 reported that cutting produced lower rates of smaller particles (≤500 μm) and larger particles (>2,000 μm) than pumping (8.5% vs. 20.4% and 0% vs. 48.1%, respectively) when Gelfoam was used.
Similar to other embolic materials, the vessel distribution after GS
embolization depends on the size of GS. Although GS is deformable, it has the tendency to embolize vessels that are smaller than its size. Moreover, calibrating the size of GS particles is difficult not only for manually prepared sheet-shaped GS but also for preshaped 1-mm and 2-mm diameter GS.19 In theory, this represents the disadvantages of GS use, as the level of embolization is difficult to control. In animal studies, when 1- to 2-mm hand­cut and preshaped GS were used, the mean diameter of the occluded vessels was approximately 500 μm.
14,20
In an animal study by Miyamoto,21 GS particles prepared by pumping were distributed in a wide range of porcine uterine arteries, including vessels less than 100 μm in diameter.
CLINICAL APPLICATIONS
GS has been used extensively in various disease entities (Table 5.1). It has been used as antitumor treatment for hypervascular tumors and to control bleeding in various types of hemorrhages. Although data from randomized controlled comparative trials with newer spherical embolic materials are limited, the use of GS as a standard embolic material is supported by wide clinical experience and various clinical reports.
Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for intermediate stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using GS has led to improved clinical outcome by prolonging survival in randomized controlled trials
22,23
and
meta-analyses.
2426
The use of GS as a temporary agent in HCC is preferred because of the necessity to repeat TACE for residual, recurrent, and newly developed tumors.
Although the use of spherical embolic materials and drug-eluting beads is emerging in many countries, the use of TACE as a standard procedure remains controversial because its use is not fully evidence-based. TACE with iodized oil (Lipiodol, Ethiodol) and anthracycline agents followed by embolization with GS was developed in Japan in the 1980s.
2729
This is still a standard technique of performing TACE for HCC in Asian countries, and a recent prospective study by Ikeda et al.30 demonstrated a favorable 2-year survival rate of 75.0%. Key features of this technique include super selective TACE and use of iodized oil to block the draining route and surrounding portal blood flow of the tumor.
30,31
Postpartum Hemorrhage
Brown et al.32 first reported a case of embolization with GS for postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) in 1979. Arterial embolization is now widely used for PPH, with a reported clinical efficacy of 72% to 100%.
3335
For arterial embolization of PPH, the main embolic material has been GS because it causes temporary occlusion of the vessel, which may prevent damage to the normal uterine parenchyma and may be sufficient to prevent further bleeding in most cases. Previous clinical studies showed that menstruation resumed in 93% to 100% of patients after embolization with GS.
3537
In this case, 1- to 2-mm hand-cut or preshaped GS was used because smaller particles are likely to cause ischemic complications.
Uterine Fibroid Embolization
UAE for the treatment of symptomatic uterine fibroid was first described by Ravina et al.38 in 1995. Over the past decade, UAE has been increasingly used, and because of its efficacy and safety, it was established as an alternative to surgery as standard treatment.
3942
The use of an embolic material for UAE has been evaluated, and spherical embolic materials such as Embosphere are the standard in countries where access to them is feasible.
43,44
GS has been used as an alternative in countries where these materials are either not accessible or not preferred for cost-saving reasons. Katsumori et al.
45,46
first described a large case series of UAE with GS with favorable mid- and long-term outcomes in terms of symptom improvement in 96% of patients at 1 year, 94.5% at 2 years, and 89.5% at 5 years. A prospective multicenter study by Sone et al.47 demonstrated a similar outcome at 1 year with an improvement in menorrhagia in 90% of patients, bulk symptom in 76%, and pelvic pain in 96%. Depending on the situation, the use of GS as an alternative embolic material for UAE can be considered.
TIPS AND TRICKS
GS is applicable to a wide range of disease entities.
GS is flexible in size depending on the preparation technique.
Ultimately, this will determine the level of occlusion with the target vasculature.
POTENTIAL COMPLICATIONS
There have been two reports of rare anaphylactic reactions during surgical use of GS.
48,49
To date, only one study demonstrated anaphylaxis presumably caused by GS during TACE with cisplatin and GS, without contrast material.50 Additional complications include nontarget embolization, ischemia, infection, and postembolization syndrome; however, these are related to the organ and vascular bed being targeted for embolization and are not specific to GS.
