Improved provocative test for the embolization of arteriovenous malformations--technical note.
A modified provocative test to assess the safety of embolization of cerebral and spinal arteriovenous malformations is described. The modified test uses successive amobarbital and lidocaine injections to elicit any possible neurological deficit, both mixed with radiopaque material to visualize the distribution of the anesthetic in the vessels. The modified provocative test caused no false negat...
متن کاملNeurophysiologic monitoring and pharmacologic provocative testing for embolization of spinal cord arteriovenous malformations.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Embolization of a spinal cord arteriovenous malformation (SCAVM) is still considered risky. We evaluated the efficacy and reliability of pharmacologic provocative testing with neurophysiologic monitoring in the embolization of SCAVMs. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed results of 60 provocative tests during 84 angiographic procedures (in 52 patients) with intended endo...
متن کاملEmbolization of Brain Arteriovenous Malformations
Cure: Because We Could and Because We Should We read with great interest the commentary by Jayaraman and Cloft about the necessity for curative embolization of brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and we feel obliged to present our objections to their views. It is absolutely true that for any treatment to be justified, it needs to have high success and low complication rates. Because embol...
متن کاملEmbolization and radiosurgery for arteriovenous malformations
The treatment of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) requires a multidisciplinary management including microsurgery, endovascular embolization, and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). This article reviews the recent advancements in the multimodality treatment of patients with AVMs using endovascular neurosurgery and SRS. We describe the natural history of AVMs and the role of endovascular and radio...
متن کامل[Mechanical coil embolization of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations].
PURPOSE To report our experience with mechanical coil embolization of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVM) MATERIAL AND METHODS: Coil embolizations were performed in 6 men (mean age 21.1, age range 20-23 years) with PAVM between 1999 and 2004. Five F Cobra catheters and various size coils were used for embolization. Clinically, cases were followed in every 3 months of their first year a...
