Properties of PGEL. A PGEL is a flowable solution at low temperature and B becomes a solid gel at high temperature (> 36 °C). C PGEL is injected into 37 °C water through a 2.7 F microcatheter and rapidly solidifies as a gel. D Comparison of X-ray attenuation of PGEL with Iomeprol and Omnipaque (from left to right). E, F TEM images of renal artery embolization with PGEL at different scales. PGEL is seen in the renal arteries and glomeruli (black particles are PGEL).
