[Calyceal fistula in a renal allograft treated with N-Butyl-2-cyanoacrylate].

Minimally invasive treatment of urinary fistulas using N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate: a valid first line option

BACKGROUND A few single case reports and only one clinical series have been published so far about the use of N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate in the treatment of urinary fistulas persisting after conventional urinary drainage. CASE PRESENTATION We treated five patients with a mean age of 59.2 years presenting iatrogenic urinary fistulas which persisted following conventional drainage manouvres. There...

Treatment of traumatic cervical arteriovenous fistulas with N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate.

We report 2 cases of traumatic arteriovenous fistulas in the neck treated with transarterial embolization with n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (n-BCA). In both cases, covered stent placement across the fistula to preserve the artery was not possible. Detachable coil placement was attempted in one case but was not successful. Both fistulas were successfully treated with n-BCA embolization. To our knowle...

Transcatheter Embolization of High-flow Renal Arteriovenous Fistula Using N-butyl Cyanoacrylate Accompanied by Delayed Hydronephrosis

Renal arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is an uncommon anomaly characterized by the communication between renal arteries and veins. Renal AVFs are often asymptomatic but are occasionally accompanied by hematuria or heart failure. Transcatheter closure with embolization is a safe and effective treatment for renal AVF. We herein report an 87-year-old patient with heart failure due to renal AVF who was ...

Azygoesophageal fistula successfully treated with endoscopic injection of N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate.

Dural arteriovenous fistula in the falx cerebri treated with transarterial embolization using n-butyl cyanoacrylate

BACKGROUND A dural arteriovenous fistula in the falx cerebri is a relatively rare lesion, with only two cases reported till date. One was treated with direct surgery, and the other was followed-up conservatively. Advances in catheter design and embolic materials have made safe and curative transarterial embolization of dural arteriovenous fistulas possible in the current era. CASE DESCRIPTION...
