چکیده

tion using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). For structure or angioarchitecture examination of AVM, the structure of its nidus must be defined accurately which may be achieved only by selective angiography. Finally, an impeccable microcatheter embolization must be carried out. Various topographic and angiographic factors are very important for choosing either surgical or endovascular treatment. Endovascular treatment can be applied as final treatment, i.e. when the AVM can be completely occluded, Introduction

Endovascular treatment of a cerebral single-hole arteriovenous fistula associated with a giant aneurysmal sac in a pediatric patient

Cerebral arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are rare in childhood and are generally associated with arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). They may lead to an increase in intracerebral pressure, seizure, hemorrhage, or cardiac decompression. They may be treated with endovascular embolization. Herein we present the radiological findings, before and after endovascular treatment, of a pediatric patient wi...

Objective: To report our experience with the endovascular management of cerebral arteriovenous malformations and dural arteriovenous fistulas. Methods: Fifty patients (66% males and 34% females) with cerebral arteriovenous malformations and dural arteriovenous fistulas were treated in our department between September 2007 and April of 2010 using endovascular therapy. A total of 84 endovascular ...

Endovascular treatment of intracerebral arteriovenous malformations: procedural safety, complications, and results evaluated by MR imaging, including diffusion and perfusion imaging.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Endovascular embolization is an increasingly common method to treat intracerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVM). To date, however, published data are rather scarce, especially with regard to true procedure-related complications and their causes. The purpose of our study was to evaluate treatment safety and correlate anatomic results with clinical outcome by using MR i...

Embolization of intracranial arteriovenous malformations with ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (Onyx).

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Endovascular therapy of intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) is increasingly used. However, it is still under discussion which embolic material is optimal. We report our experience in the treatment of AVMs with ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (Onyx). MATERIALS AND METHODS Between July 2002 and January 2008, brain AVMs were embolized with Onyx in 82 consecuti...
