Methods of occlusion included embolization (clot, subcutaneous tissue, and Gelfoam), introduction of a stainless steel coil into larger vessels, and balloon catheters.

Initial observations are presented, including occlusion of the hepatic artery for dearterialization of primary and secondary neoplasms and of the splenic artery for hypersplenism.
