Abstract
|
|
|
|
Embolization of the left gastric artery with the intent of decreasing hunger, termed bariatric embolization, has experienced a recent surge of attention in the literature and at medical conferences. This endovascular treatment for obesity has demonstrated promising data as a potentially new and effective minimally invasive treatment for obesity. The goal of this review article is to discuss the background, rationale, and existing data on this new topic.
