Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) are often treated by pushable fibered or non-fibered microcoils, using an anchor or scaffold technique or with an Amplatzer plug through a guiding sheath. When performing percutaneous transcatheter microcoil embolization, there is a risk of coil migration, particularly with high-flow type PAVMs. The authors report on a unique treatment in a patient with a giant high-flow PAVM whose nidus had a maximum diameter of 6 cm. A detachable coil, not detached from a delivery wire (an anchored detachable coil), was first placed in the feeding artery under flow control by balloon occlusion, and then multiple microcoils were packed proximally to the anchored detachable coil. After confirming the stability of the microcoils during a gradual deflation of the balloon, we finally released the first detachable coil. The nidus was reduced in size to 15 mm at one year postoperatively.

Use of a triple-coaxial system in coil embolization of a large bronchial artery aneurysm.
Radiol Case Rep
January 2025
Department of Radiology, Aichi Medical University, Nagakute, 480-1195, Japan.
An 84-year-old man presented with a large bronchial artery aneurysm with a tortuous afferent artery. A triple-coaxial system was used to perform super-selective catheterization, consisting of a small microcatheter, a large microcatheter, and a 4-Fr catheter. The large microcatheter was successfully placed inside the aneurysm, and coil embolization was performed using large detachable coils to reduce the procedure cost.

It is difficult to access small and remote intracranial vascular lesions when using routine coil-delivery microcatheters. A thin Apollo microcatheter can access these vascular lesions. The Apollo microcatheter is intended to reduce the risk of catheter entrapment during the deployment of Onyx due to the detachable tip; furthermore, the Apollo microcatheter with a 3 cm detachable tip has 2 markers.

Article Synopsis
- Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is a rare, benign bone lesion primarily found in the jawbones, but this case highlights its occurrence in the temporal bone of a 31-year-old female.
- The patient underwent advanced imaging which revealed a mass with significant involvement of nearby structures, leading to preoperative embolization to minimize blood supply before surgical intervention.
- Post-surgery, a histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of CGCG, and the patient had an uncomplicated recovery, highlighting a successful management approach that preserved critical ear structures.

Objectives: To investigate the effectiveness and safety of endovascular treatment by embolization with detachable fibered coils of insufficient pelvic veins, as the primary cause of Venous Origin Chronic Pelvic Pain (VOCPP).
Methods: This observational, retrospective study analyzes data from the PELVIC registry from 2014 to 2022. Sociodemographic, diagnostic, preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative follow-up variables were reported.
Insertable, dual-density dielectric barrier for acoustic pressure level reduction in a high-performance human head-only MRI system.

We report use of a dual-density dielectric barrier surrounding a detachable high-pass radiofrequency (RF) birdcage coil to achieve an order-of-magnitude reduction of acoustic noise in a high-performance head gradient system. The barrier consisted of a 4.5 mm-thick mass-loaded vinyl and a 6 mm-thick polyurethane foam.
