A microfluidic device for the characterisation of embolisation with polyvinyl alcohol beads through biomimetic bifurcations

A microfluidic based device has been developed for the characterisation of embolisation behaviour with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel beads within a microchannel network with bifurcations which mimic the blood vessel network. Both distal and proximal embolisations were achieved within the PMMA-mad...
