BACKGROUND Cerebral arteriovenous malformation (cAVM) is a type of vascular malformation associated with vascular remodeling, hemodynamic imbalance, and inflammation. We detected four angioarchitecture-related cytokines to make a better understanding of the potential aberrant signaling in the pathogenesis of cAVM and found useful proteins in predicting the risk of cerebral hemorrhage. METHODS...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The diagnosis of spinal vascular malformations may be challenging on conventional MR imaging because neither the location of the signal abnormality in the spinal cord nor the level of the abnormal flow voids correlates with the level of the fistula. We conducted a retrospective evaluation of the utility of using a time-resolved imaging of contrast kinetics sequence in the...

Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVM) are rare vascular malformation, having direct communication between a pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein, bypassing intervening capillary bed. Traditionally, minimally invasive, endovascular Interventional treatment using coils has been the treatment of choice for PAVM. Our case report highlights emerging role of vascular plug in treating PAVM. Vasc...

Vascular abnormalities are uncommon causes of uterine bleeding. Laparoscopic surgeries, however, require expertise and improper techniques can lead to major vascular complications. We report an unusual case of utero-adenexal arterio- venous fistula with arterio - venous malformation due to pelvic trauma caused during laparoscopic sterilisation procedure, which was treated by percutaneous emboli...

We present the case of a five-year-old boy with a caroticoazygous fistula, which is an extremely rare congenital vascular malformation. The patient also had patent ductus arteriosus, a common cause of continuous murmur. The murmur continued despite successful coil embolization of the ductus. Repeated catheter-angiography revealed a large caroticoazygous fistula. The fistula was successfully emb...

Vascular malformations are difficult to treat because of poor results of treatment and recurrence of symptoms. Percutaneous and/or transluminal embolisation has refined the treatment of surface vascular lesions; especially with availability of variety of sclerosants.We report a case of a young girl with vascular malformation of right foot, which was treated with percutaneous sclerotherapy with ...

BACKGROUND Endovascular therapy for vascular malformations is one of the treatment options for limb vascular malformations. CASE PRESENTATION A patient with a vascular malformation of the hip developed ipsilateral leg weakness immediately after endovascular embolization and sclerotherapy. Clinical and electrodiagnostic findings later confirmed an incomplete sciatic neuropathy. CONCLUSION We...

Cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are a type of vascular anomaly consisting of large intertwined vascular growth (Nidus) that is prone to serious hemorrhaging and can result in patient death if left untreated. Intervention through surgical clipping of feeding and draining vessels to the Nidus is a common treatment. However, identification of which vessels to clip is challenging even t...
