Intra-arterial Onyx Embolization of Vertebral Body Lesions
نویسندگان
چکیده
While Onyx embolization of cerebrospinal arteriovenous shunts is well-established, clinical researchers continue to broaden applications to other vascular lesions of the neuraxis. This report illustrates the application of Onyx (eV3, Plymouth, MN) embolization to vertebral body lesions, specifically, a vertebral hemangioma and renal cell carcinoma vertebral body metastatic lesion.

Transarterial treatment with Onyx of intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula with cortical drainage in 17 patients.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intracranial DAVFs with cortical venous drainage have a high tendency to bleed. Complete closure of these lesions is essential to prevent clinically deleterious events. We describe our experience using Onyx in an arterial approach for treatment of DAVFs in 17 patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between 2006 and 2010, we used Onyx for performing transarterial embolization in...
متن کاملComment on: Current concepts in the management of carotid body tumours.
Preoperative embolization has played a major role in the devascularization of carotid body tumours prior to surgery. There are two currently approved methods to achieve this, which is a superselective transarterial endovascular embolization and a direct percutaneous injection of embolic materials . Superselective transarterial endovascular embolization has potential limitations especially in le...
متن کاملEmbolization of high-flow craniofacial vascular malformations with onyx.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Various techniques and materials have been used for the endovascular treatment of craniofacial high-flow arteriovenous vascular malformations, because their rarity precludes standardization of their treatment. The aim of this retrospective review is to assess Onyx as the primary embolic agent in the treatment of these vascular malformations. MATERIALS AND METHODS Six pa...
متن کاملPreoperative Onyx embolization of aggressive vertebral hemangiomas.
We report the first use of Onyx in the embolization of spinal tumors in 2 cases of aggressive vertebral hemangioma. In both cases, Onyx embolization provided effective preoperative tumor devascularization after the initial prolonged particulate embolization with Embospheres made little overall impact. Onyx enables a more rapid and visible embolization than particles and is less technically dema...
متن کاملEmbolization in Vertebral Hemangioma; the First Experience in Iran
SUMMARY Vertebral hemangiomas are very common abnormalities involving human spinal column. Two different kinds of these lesions, symptomatic and asymptomatic hemangiomas are noted in the spine. The asymptomatic ones are found incidentally in spinal imaging investigations and don not need any theraputic action. The symptomatic hemangiomas, which are not as usual as former one but, causes signif...
