Combined treatment of brain AVMs by Onyx embolization and gamma knife radiosurgery decreased hemorrhage risk despite low obliteration rate.
AIM The effectiveness and risk of cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) treatment with Onyx embolization combined with Gamma Knife surgery (GKS) were rarely reported. In the present study, we analyzed the radiographic and clinical outcomes of combined Onyx embolization and GKS for cerebral AVMs. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 86 patients' clinical outcomes were fully collected. Modalit...
متن کاملCombined treatment of brain AVMs with use of Onyx embolization followed by radiosurgery.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The treatment of cerebral AVMs is complex, reliant on interventions such as embolization, surgery, and radiosurgery, or a combination of these modalities. To date, treatment with the embolic agent Onyx, followed by radiosurgery, has not been evaluated. The goal of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this combination in a homogeneous, monocentric series. ...
متن کاملCurative embolization of brain arteriovenous malformations with onyx: patient selection, embolization technique, and results.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A new curative embolization technique with Onyx for selected small and medium-sized superficially located brain AVMs was developed, which consists of obliteration of the nidus, including incremental occlusion of the draining veins. We report our first clinical results. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between June 2008 and July 2011, 24 patients (7 women, 17 men; mean age, 41 year...
متن کاملEmbolization with Gamma Knife Radiosurgery of Giant Intracranial Arteriovenous Malformations.
AIM Giant arteriovenous malformations (i.e., those greater than 6 cm maximum diameter or volume > 33 cc) are difficult to treat and often carry higher treatment morbidity and mortality rates. In our study, we reviewed the angiographic results and clinical outcomes for 11 patients with giant arteriovenous malformations who were treated between 1994 and 2012. MATERIAL AND METHODS The patients s...
متن کاملOutcomes of Gamma Knife Radiosurgery in Patients With Parasagittal Meningioma
Background & Aim: The treatment of Parasagittal Meningioma (PSM) is always a challenge, especially when the tumor has already invaded the critical structures like venous sinuses. This study aims at evaluating the outcomes of Gamma Knife Radiosurgery (GKRS) in patients with PSM. Methods and Materials/Patients: In this descriptive retrospective study, we reviewed the medical records of 61 patien...
