Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) consist of abnormal communications between the arteries and veins. They can involve any part body extremity grow in proportion to age response hormonal influence or trauma. When symptoms progress from Schöbinger clinical stage II III, transcatheter and/or direct puncture embolization are less-invasive repeatable options for symptom palliation. The goal is obli...

abstract vascular injury presents a great challenge to the emergency resident because these injuries require urgent intervention to prevent loss of life or limb. sometimes serious vascular injury presents with only subtle or occult signs or symptoms. the patient may present weeks or months after initial injury with symptoms of vascular insufficiency, embolization, pseudoaneurysm, arteriovenous ...

Abstract Background Spinal arteriovenous malformations (AVM) consist of a heterogeneous group pathological vascular entities that affect the spinal cord parenchyma either directly or indirectly. Case presentation We present an unusual case malformation (type 2) in 18-month-old girl who presented with weakness both lower limbs and urinary incontinence. She was diagnosed AVM large intramedullary ...

PURPOSE To present our experience using the Amplatzer vascular plug in various arterial and venous systems, and follow-up results. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between May 2005 and October 2006, 20 Amplatzer vascular plugs were used to achieve occlusion in 20 vessels in 12 patients (10 male, 2 female) aged between 24 and 80 years (mean age, 55 years). Localization and indications for embolotherapy w...

A mandibular arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is rare, and unawareness of this condition can lead to catastrophic complications. Embolization is an effective means to treat these lesions. The osseous changes and long-term outcomes among the pediatric patients after embolization treatment remain unclear. We present a 6-year-old patient with mandibular arteriovenous malformation who had sustained...

Introduction Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) is the preferred procedure for safe and effective surgical treatment of kidney stones. Hemorrhage is the most serious complication of PNL, resulting from pseudoaneurysm (PA) or arteriovenous fistula (AVF), and can usually be controlled with conservative treatment. Aim To evaluate endovascular treatments and outcomes of vascular complications obs...

PURPOSE The occurrence of a vascular perforation during an endovascular procedure is an unexpected and feared complication which can be fatal. However, the incidence, risk or the mechanism of vascular perforation which can occur in the endovascular management of aneurysms remains unclear. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the incidence of vascular perforation during endovascular ...

Background: Renal vascular injuries mostly result from interventional urologic procedures such as percutaneous biopsy and nephrostomy. Serious hemorrhagic complications associated with percutaneous urologic procedures occur in 2.3-15% of the patients endangering patients' life. Conventional surgical treatment including partial and total nephrectomy carries great morbidity and results in remarka...

PURPOSE To determine the impact of iodinated contrast material extravasation at MDCT in selecting patients with pelvic fractures that require vascular embolization. PATIENTS AND METHODS All patients with severe pelvic fracture admitted to the trauma unit between 1998 and 2004 underwent contrast enhanced MDCT prior to additional specific treatment. All patients with extravasation underwent imm...
