چکیده

Gelfoam and polyvinyl alcohol foam particles each have advantages and disadvantages for therapeutic embolization. It was theorized and confirmed that a mixture of the two retains the advantages and eliminates the disadvantages of each. Two mixtures were prepared, tested in animals, and used successfully in 14 patients. It was found that the mixtures of Gelfoam and polyvinyl alcohol foam particles fulfilled the expectations and needs for particulate embolic materials.

Embolization of intramedullary arteriovenous malformations of the spinal cord.

Intramedullary spinal cord arteriovenous malformation (AVM) can be a devastating disease. It is not usually amenable to surgery without producing severe neurologic deficit. Previously, the risk of cord ischemia was considered a contraindication to therapeutic embolization. Three patients with intramedullary spinal cord AVMs were examined and treated using polyvinyl alcohol foam, mixed with Gelf...

Iatrogenic renovascular injuries treated by transarterial embolization.

BACKGROUND Renal vascular injury may be secondary to blunt or penetrating trauma, iatrogenic injuries or spontaneously with or without underlying pathology. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of transarterial embolization (TAE) for the treatment of iatrogenic renovascular injuries (IRVIs). PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty-six patients (27 males, 9 females, aged 14-79 years) wi...

Microembolization techniques of vascular occlusion: radiologic, pathologic, and clinical correlation.

Vascular occlusion is described using microemboli of a predetermined size for the treatment of neoplastic conditions with a "capillary barrier." Particulated microemboli of either 40--60 micron Gelfoam powder or 200--1,000 micron polyvinyl alcohol foam (PVA) are best. Fluid embolic agents such as silicone fluid are used in lesions without a capillary barrier. The radiographic, pathologic, and c...

A new classification based on angiographic arterial supply to neoplasms.

The extensive vascularity of extra and intracranial neoplasms is vulnerable to superselective intraarterial injection of embolic particles. The goal is to inject embolic material such as polyvinyl alcohol particles, gelfoam powder, fibrin glue, microfibrillar collagen, or gelatin microspheres until the vascular blush is completely obliterated. The angiographic supply pattern determines the like...
