Table 2. Advantages, disadvantages, and cost of plug deployment methods.

	Advantages	Disadvantages	Cost	Market examples
Plug deployment method
Mechanical: Screw release	Most common and readily available modality. Most cost efficacious	Can cause unnecessary strain and torque on nearby vessels upon deployment	$	AVP, MVP, Caterpillar
Mechanical: Button release	Easier and smoother deployment technique than screw release mechanism	Limited current options and research in regard to treatable vessel ranges. Slightly increases the overall price of a plug	$$	LOBO, AZUR
Electrolytic	Most precise delivery method	Most expensive deployment technique. Takes time for setup Also, not readily available in many current models	$$$	MVP, AZUR
