Talk:Embolization

'-ize' vs. '-ise'

WRT the spelling changes I made, I realize that either is correct, but since the article title uses the -ize spelling, I thought it should be consistent Darguz Parsilvan 01:02, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Embolic agents

Regarding the length of the Embolisation#Agents list and the general complexity of the topic, I propose to create a seperate page for Embolic Agents. - Biomeddude — Preceding unsigned comment added by Biomeddude (talk • contribs) 17:39, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

• Agree Sounds good. Be careful about wp:NPOV here. That section in particular is at risk of sounding like an advert for the procedure and the companies that make those drugs (devices?) BakerStMD T|C 21:27, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

Embolization is also a complication

This page is written like an advert for Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization. Embolization is a general term describing debris flowing downstream in a blood vessel. In addition to a radiological procedure, it is also a complication of surgery, and a general process causing things like blue toe syndrome and Air embolism and fat embolism The intro needs to reflect these.

Is "warning" for link to

I wikified the link to Esophageal_varices, and added following "warning" in parentheses for the aid of those who may have sensitive stomachs (perhaps a pun is intended):

"warning, endoscopic image of an esophagus may be disturbing to some"

Is this in any way inappropriate - i.e. does it constitute some kind of "censorship"? After all, it does not actually "censor" anything - just alerting people to an image they might personally find objectionable, and so might want to place a palm over the screen before they click?

Theapeutic embo vs just embo

I tried to distinguish between therapeutic and non-therapeutic embolization on this page, and in the absence of discussion here as to why the two should be equated, I'm defending those edits with reverts. BakerStMD 03:04, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

Propose rename to "therapeutic embolization"

This page is about therapy. The page about pathologic embolization is at embolism. One is the noun and one the participle of "to embolize". Thus they should be separated, IMHO. BakerStMD 14:36, 24 October 2016 (UTC)
