Measure
BeadBlock 300 - 500 Micron Will be Used as the Embolic Agent to Embolize Left Gastric Artery.
Beadblock will be used intraarterially to occlude the left gastric artery and its branches. The left gastric artery supplies the fundus of the stomach, where it is known that the hormone Ghrelin (one of the hormones responsible for appetite) is produced.

The mean of participant's SF-36 Version 2 PCS at 6 months post-procedure, ranging from 0-100; higher scores indicate better health status. The SF-36v2 contains 8 sections total which are each calculated into individual scale scores. A z-score is then determined for each scale score by subtracting the mean scale score of a sample of the national general population from the scale score of the individual participant being analyzed. Each of the 8 z-scores are then multiplied by the PCS scoring coefficient, added together, multiplied by 10 and added to 50.

Timeframe: 12 Month, Baseline

The mean of participant's SF-36 Version 2 MCS at 12-months post-procedure, ranging from 0-100; higher scores indicate better health status. The SF-36v2 contains 8 sections total which are each calculated into individual scale scores. A z-score is then determined for each scale score by subtracting the mean scale score of a sample of the national general population from the scale score of the individual participant being analyzed. Each of the 8 z-scores are then multiplied by the MCS scoring coefficient, added together, multiplied by 10 and added to 50. Changes in QOL (measured by SF-36v2 MCS) are calculated as the average of participants: (12-Month Post-Procedure SF-36v2 MCS) - (Baseline SF-36v2 MCS)

Outcome measures

Outcome measures
Measure
Embolic Agent - BeadBlock
n=5 Participants
Left Gastric Artery Embolization - Embolic Agent - BeadBlock 300 - 500 Micron will be used as the embolic agent to embolize left gastric artery. BeadBlock 300 - 500 Micron: Beadblock will be used intraarterially to occlude the left gastric artery and its branches. The left gastric artery supplies the fundus of the stomach, where it is known that the hormone Ghrelin (one of the hormones responsible for appetite) is produced. Left Gastric Artery Embolization
Changes in QOL (Measured by SF-36v2 MCS) From Baseline at 12 Months Post-Procedure
14.9 Scores on a Scale
Interval -6.7 to 48.3

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6-Month

Population: Applies to the sole diabetic patient in the trial.

HgA1c Levels of diabetic patient 6-Months post-procedure.
