Transcatheter embolization of congenital hepatic arteriovenous malformation using ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (Onyx).
A male infant with high-output heart failure who had been found to have a hepatic arteriovenous malformation by ultrasound imaging was referred to our center (Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, Imam Khomeini Hospital, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Islamic Republic of Iran) for further evaluation. Computed tomography angiography revealed a large hepat...
متن کاملEmbolization of intracranial arteriovenous malformations with ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (Onyx).
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Endovascular therapy of intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) is increasingly used. However, it is still under discussion which embolic material is optimal. We report our experience in the treatment of AVMs with ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (Onyx). MATERIALS AND METHODS Between July 2002 and January 2008, brain AVMs were embolized with Onyx in 82 consecuti...
متن کاملComplication risk of endovascular embolization for cerebral arteriovenous malformation.
OBJECTIVE The embolic agents currently used for the treatment of AVMs are n-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) and ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (ONYX). The purpose of this study was to examine the overall NBCA and ONYX embolization-related complication rate. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 147 consecutive patients with cerebral AVMs treated mainly with endovascular NBCA and ONYX embolization....
متن کاملEndovascular Embolization of High-Risk Arteriovenous Malformation
Intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are relatively rare cerebral lesions – 0.06 up to 1.1% of the general population. These lesion are of great importance, because they can result in significant morbidity and mortality among young people. The ultimate aim in the treatment of AVMs must consist in preventing the risk of future bleeding. This is achieved by single-step or gradual elimi...
متن کاملApplication of a Novel Brain Arteriovenous Malformation Endovascular Grading Scale for Transarterial Embolization.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The advent of modern neuroendovascular techniques has highlighted the need for a simple, effective, and reliable brain arteriovenous malformation endovascular grading scale. A novel scale of this type has recently been described. It incorporates the number of feeding arteries, eloquence, and the presence of an arteriovenous fistula component. Our aim is to assess the vali...
