Massive but slowly bleeding AML. Love liquid Embolics for this. Lipiodol, ethanol, Gelfoam and contrast. #IRAD Now you see it, now you don’t.

Depends on flow rate@and how slushy you want the mixture. We were going to do just ethanol and lipiodol but I was doing the case with one of the other guys just switching over form particles. He felt more comfortable@with a thicker mixture.
