چکیده

We have developed a liquid material for embolization of arteriovenous malformations that is a mixture of ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer and metrizamide dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide. Upon contact with blood, dimethyl sulfoxide rapidly diffuses into the blood and forms an ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer elastic soft sponge that obstructs both the feeder and the nidus. The material, which is not adhesive, was used for embolization of three left cerebral arteriovenous malformations with satisfactory results.

Three Huge Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformations: Endovascular Embolization with the Amplatzer Vascular Plug Üç Dev Pulmoner Arteriovenöz Malformasyon: Amplatzer Vasküler Plug ile Endovasküler Embolizasyon

Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations are abnormal direct communications between pulmonary arteries and pulmonary veins. Transcatheter embolotherapy is the preferred treatment method because of its less invasive nature. There are several methods for the treatment of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations, such as detachable occlusion balloon and coil embolization. The Amplatzer Vascular Plug is ...
