While less invasive than open surgery, existing embolization treatments involve shortcomings requiring active management by interventional radiologists. These include:
- Failure to deeply penetrate the tumor vascular bed allowing for continued tumor blood flow
- Flow into healthy vessels leading to non-target embolization and healthy tissue injury
- Dependence on blood coagulation to stop blood flow, potentially delaying occlusion in patients with compromised blood clotting
