Abstract We have prepared a new material for embolisation: ethylene vinylacetate copolymer dissolved in polyvinyl alcohol. When in contact with blood, polyvinyl alcohol rapidly becomes a soft gel, which is accompanied by wedging of the ethylene vinylacetate copolymer. We analysed the histopathology of intra-arterial microemboli in rats, after intracarotid injection of this material. We confirmed that it was applicable to embolisation for neurosurgical treatment.
