"Embolisation" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Embolisation is a medical term that refers to the process of inserting a substance or object, such as a coil or a liquid, into a blood vessel or other bodily cavity in order to block or occlude it. This can be done to treat a variety of conditions, including aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and bleeding. Embolisation is often used as an alternative to surgery, as it can be less invasive and may involve fewer risks and complications.

Embolic refers to something that was formed in one part of the body and then traveled to another part, often through the bloodstream, where it causes damage or obstruction.
