Abstract
A method for forming an endovascular occlusion by controlling the injection parameters of a purified alginate liquid and a calcium chloride solution to meet and polymerize at a target site within the vascular system. Different types of injection techniques may be used with a preferred injection technique of simultaneous bi-directional injection where the purified alginate liquid is injected through a vein and the calcium chloride solution is injected through an artery.
