Percutaneous embolization of a caroticoazygous fistula with the Amplatzer Vascular Plug 1.
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...
متن کاملApplications of the Amplatzer Vascular Plug 4.
The purpose of this study was to present our initial experience with the Amplatzer® Vascular Plug (AVP) 4 in various arterial environments. This material was designed for the embolization of peripheral small vessels using a diagnostic catheter. Herein, the following three procedures using the AVP 4 were described: hemodialysis fistula occlusion as a treatment for the steal pheno...
متن کاملDelayed failure of rectovaginal fistula embolization with Amplatzer vascular plug 2.
We read with great interest the paper published by Guneyli et al. (1) in Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology along with the other impressive papers regarding the use of Amplatzer® Vascular Plugs (AVPs, AGA Medical Corp., Golden Valley, Minnesota, USA) (1–3). We would like to share our experience about using the AVP for treating a rectovaginal fistula (RVF). Although initially successful, th...
متن کاملTranscatheter Embolization of Giant Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformation with an Amplatzer Vascular Plug II
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM) is a rare anomalous direct communication between the pulmonary artery and vein with a considerable risk of serious complications such as cerebral thromboembolism or abscess and pulmonary hemorrhage. Although the past, surgical resection such as lobectomy was mostly used to treat PAVM, the recent development of endovascular treatment has made it a prim...
متن کاملIntrahepatic Portosystemic Venous Shunt: Successful Embolization Using the Amplatzer Vascular Plug II
A 67-year-old woman presented with memory impairment and behavioral changes. Brain MRI indicated hepatic encephalopathy. Abdominal CT scans revealed an intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunt that consisted of two shunt tracts to the aneurysmal sac that communicated directly with the right hepatic vein. The large tract was successfully occluded by embolization using the newly available AMPLATZE...
