Peripheral embolization complicating bilateral renal infarction with gelfoam.

Selective arterial embolization is a technique with wide therapeutic applicability. However, regardless of the nature of the embolic particles, reflux into the aorta with peripheral embolization is a serious potential complication. A case is described in which this complication occurred. We recommend that all such embolizations be performed with a balloon catheter occluding the target artery.

Gelfoam paste in experimental laminectomy and cranial trephination: hemostasis and bone healing.

The hemostatic properties and effect on osteogenesis of gelatin foam paste and bone wax were compared on surgical bone lesions in experimental animals. Thirty rabbits each received four trephine craniotomies and four lumbar laminectomies. Alternate bone incisions in each animal were treated with either gelatin foam paste or bone wax. Blood loss was measured by absorbing the blood into dry surgical cottonoids weighed before and after use. Bone healing sites of three rabbits were examined histologically to assess the effect of each agent on osteogenesis. The trephination sites of eight rabbits were subjected to fracture force testing at 6 weeks postoperatively to compare the effect ot the two agents on bone healing. No significant difference was found between gelatin foam paste and bone wax in either effectiveness of hemostasis or effect on osteogenesis.
