Endovascular treatment of small cerebral arteriovenous malformations as a primary therapy.

Purpose: The patient population that would benefit most from endovascular curative treatment of intracranial arteriovenous malformations is not clearly established. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of curative embolization of cerebral arteriovenous malformations with special regard to radiographic and clinical outcomes and procedure-related complications.

Material And Methods: Between January 2009 and December 2014, 18 patients with intracranial arteriovenous malformations were embolized with Onyx with intent to cure.

Endovascular Approach to Glomus Jugulare Tumors.

Background: Paragangliomas are benign neuroendocrine tumors derived from the glomus cells of the vegetative nervous system. Typically, they are located in the region of the jugular bulb and middle ear. The optimal management is controversial and can include surgical excision, stereotactic radiosurgery and embolization.

Stent-assisted embolization of wide-neck anterior communicating artery aneurysms: Review of consecutive 34 cases.

Objective: We report our experience with stent-assisted coiling of anterior communicating artery aneurysms with special consideration of angiographic and clinical outcomes, retreatment rate and periprocedural complications.

Materials And Methods: The analysis included 34 consecutive ruptured and unruptured wide-neck aneurysms. The aneurysm size ranged from 2 to 18mm (mean 5.

Stent-Assisted Endovascular Treatment of Anterior Communicating Artery Aneurysms - Literature Review.

The anterior cerebral artery is a common location of intracranial aneurysms. The standard coil embolization technique is limited by its inability to occlude wide-neck aneurysms. Stent deployment across the aneurysm neck supports the coil mass inside the aneurysmal sac, and furthermore, has an effect on local hemodynamic and biologic changes.
