Sure,
Gas diffusion into tissue is related somewhat to circulation, but mostly related
to diffusion- ie. movement of gas through tissues as opposed to through the
blood supply.  Off gassing, although it is also influenced by diffusion, is
more closely reliant on circulation- the ability of the blood to take the excess
gas and microbubbles away from a tissue.  So with an area of inflamation like
a recently operated joint, swollen tissues will be slower to off gas and will
be more likely to create bubbles.  This is a high protein, low flow area,
perfect
for in situ bubble creation.
