Purpose To evaluate the usefulness of fat tissue as an embolic material and determine whether the embolization time depends on the size of the fat tissue. Materials and methods Inguinal fat tissues from 16 rabbits were processed as follows: (1) fat tissues were cut into 2-mm squares, and (2) fat tis...
