What are the limitations of embolization?

Kenneth W. Chin (M.D., F.A.C.R.) gives expert video advice on: How are blood vessels blocked during embolization?; What can I expect after embolization?; Are there risks involved with embolization? and more...

Embolization however is limited in that we can only treat those blood vessels that we can pass a catheter to. There are instances in which some abnormalities will not be accessible though an embolization technique because we cannot get the catheter to that location.
