Abstract
Hydrophilic polymer embolization (HPE) represents a complication of endovascular interventions, occurring when the hydrophilic coating detaches, eventually causing distal ischemia and/or inflammation. We conducted a scoping review using PubMed, providing a summary of the main clinical implications potentially related to HPE. The analysis primarily found case reports/series (n = 48/56), suggesting that this event is perceived as sporadic. However, the potentially subtle presentation of HPE and a limited understanding of this condition among medical professionals are likely to contribute to its underrepresentation in medical literature. To better understand HPE risks, a detailed device analysis considering material and coating variations is crucial. Collaboration among manufacturers, clinicians, and regulators is needed to improve safety, diagnostics, and patient outcomes, bridging knowledge gaps and addressing this complex issue effectively.
期刊介绍：
CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology (CVIR) is the official journal of the Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe, and is also the official organ of a number of additional distinguished national and international interventional radiological societies. CVIR publishes double blinded peer-reviewed original research work including clinical and laboratory investigations, technical notes, case reports, works in progress, and letters to the editor, as well as review articles, pictorial essays, editorials, and special invited submissions in the field of vascular and interventional radiology. Beside the communication of the latest research results in this field, it is also the aim of CVIR to support continuous medical education. Articles that are accepted for publication are done so with the understanding that they, or their substantive contents, have not been and will not be submitted to any other publication.
