Talk:Embolisation

I have changed the redirection of this page from Embolism to Embolization. This is the American spelling of the word but constitutes the same proceedure. Embolism is the definition of a natural pathology that occurs in the body. Embolisation is a theraputic procedure in which a substance is artificially introduced into the body, to give the same effect as a naturally occuring Embolism, i.e. a blockage. But instead of blocking the heart or lungs (which is fatal), it is used to shink tumours.Heather 12:29, 26 May 2007 (UTC)Glitzy_queen00
