Head and neck arteriovenous malformations: results of ethanol sclerotherapy.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Peripheral AVM is a locally aggressive disease with a high tendency to recur; its treatment is complex, especially in the anatomically delicate head and neck area. Here, we report results of ethanol sclerotherapy for head and neck AVM and discuss its potential use for peripheral AVM. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively assessed degree of AVM eradication, complicati...
متن کاملEthanol sclerotherapy of head and neck venous malformations
OBJECTIVE This retrospective study evaluated the results of sclerotherapy with low doses of ethanol for treatment of head and neck venous malformations. METHODS We treated 51 patients, 37 females. Median age was 23 years. Patients were treated with percutaneous intralesional injection of alcohol every two weeks and followed up prospectively for a median period of 18 months. Most lesions affec...
متن کاملArteriovenous Malformations of the Head and Neck.
Extracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are complex vascular malformations to diagnose and treat. They are comprised of congenitally derived arteriovenous shunts with chronic vascular expansion, collateralization, and infiltration of local tissue. Their cause remains unclear, but new genetic and molecular clues are emerging. They may present at any age following an early quiescent perio...
متن کاملSerum Ethanol Levels after Alcohol Sclerotherapy of Arteriovenous Malformations
We analyzed the effects of several factors on the serum ethanol levels after alcohol sclerotherapy in the arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) retrospectively. Blood ethanol level, amounts of given alcohol, location of lesions, methods of flow control, and Doppler resistive index (RI) were analyzed. The results of linear regression analysis showed that the amount of alcohol administered was the p...
متن کاملEndovascular treatment of head and neck arteriovenous malformations: long-term angiographic and quality of life results.
AIM To present the long-term angiographic and subjective results of patients with head and neck arteriovenous malformations (HNAVMs) after endovascular treatment. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the medical files of 14 patients with HNAVM who were treated between 2000 and 2014. The treatment of choice was a transarterial superselective microcatheter-based approach followed by embolization...
