PURPOSE: The purpose of this in vivo animal study was to compare the acute histological effects on the arterial vessel wall of free-flow vs. blocked-flow embolization with metacryloxysulfolane-n‑butyl cyanoacrylate (MS-NBCA) in several concentrations.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 42 rabbit renal arteries were embolized using MS-NBCA mixed with ethiodized oil. The MS-NBCA concentration was 12.5%, 25%, or 50%. All mixtures were injected under both free-flow and blocked-flow conditions. The rabbits were euthanised 30 min after arterial embolization. Arterial-lumen distension, intimal inflammation and necrosis, peri‑arterial edema, and distality of MS-NBCA penetration were assessed histologically. Multivariable regression analyses were performed using a manual backward procedure, with linear, ordinal and logistic regression to search for factors associated with these outcomes RESULTS: Marked or severe dilatation was observed in 36 out of 42 arteries (86%) and marked or transmural intimal arteritis in all 42 arteries (42/42; 100%). Lumen dilatation caused focal vessel-wall flattening, which resulted in intimal necrosis. Multifocal necrosis extending from the intima to the media occurred in 23 out of 42 kidneys (55%) and peri‑arterial edema with multifocal vascular leakage in 19 out of 42 kidneys (45%). At multivariable analysis, blocked-flow MS-NBCA injection was associated with greater severity of vessel-wall lesions, including intimal arteritis (P = 0.003) and intimal necrosis (P = 0.014), compared to free-flow injection. Blocked-flow injection was also associated with peri‑arterial edema (P = 0.008) and greater distality of MS-NBCA penetration (P = 0.001).

CONCLUSION: Blocked-flow MS-NBCA injection during renal artery embolization is significantly associated with more acute arterial-wall damage and greater distality of glue penetration compared to free-flow injection in a rabbit model. These preliminary findings may have clinical implications, as blocked-flow injection is routinely used to treat specific vascular diseases or malformations in human.
