Bucrylate (isobutyl cyanoacrylate) is a liquid tissue adhesive for transcatheter embolization. It is used in radiological and endoscopic interventions to occlude vessels and to stop bleedings. In comparison with sponges, coils and plugs, bucrylate is inexpensive and achieves immediate, irreversible and complete occlusion of the vessel irrespective of coagulation deficiencies.
