Hi there; I have had one emobization about 12years ago. I don't remember the material but it was probably something archaic, you know stone age. I do know it was a coil cause it still shows up in my xrays. My doctor also put me on Vit K 10 ml. every day . I have basically stopped bleeding. Every now and again i streek and this winter I had a couple tablespoons but it stopped really quickly. So all in all I think the Vit K which is a vit that speeds up clotting time. I would definately ask your doc about Vit K as a regular regime. Now and again I get my bleeding time done which is simple, done and it has been fine. I have been doing Vit K every day for years. I bled all the time too. Not anymore. May be it is just luck too, I'll take that.
I remember no vest, just light pt by a therapist after the emobolization for a week or two. So I would probably lowere the setting for a few days . Your PT department or NUrse would know better. I did have a cocktail that was short acting for the surgery and I remember being very comfortable. I don't remember it beinga terrible experience at all. There have been a lot worse.
Blessings and Prayers out to you.
Let us know what you decide.
