The purpose of this study was to compare complications and the number of ghrelin-expressing cells (GECs) after bariatric arterial embolization (BAE) using soluble gelatin sponge particles (SGSs) or tris-acryl gelatin microspheres (MSs) in swine. Twelve swine underwent embolization of gastric fundal arteries with SGSs (n = 4) or MSs (n = 4) or underwent saline infusion (n = 4, control group). One week later, the number of gastric ulcers and the percentage of GECs were compared among the 3 groups.
