Figure 6 Splenic artery embolization using Amplatzer Vascular Plug.
The Amplatzer Vascular Plug (AVP) is a self-expandable occlusion device made from nitinol mesh wires. The AVP comes preloaded and attached to a stainless steel delivery cable. The AVP ranges from 4 to 16 mm in diameter, and 7-8 mm in length. The AVP is FDA-approved and is currently the embolic device that we prefer for splenic artery embolization.
