Purpose: Endovascular treatment of spinal AVMs is limited by low complete cure rates. Transarterial extensive treatment with liquid embolics carries the risk of clinically relevant ischemic complications. We report two cases of symptomatic spinal AVMs treated by a transvenous approach with retrograde pressure cooker technique.

Methods: In two selected cases, transvenous navigation aimed at retrograde pressure cooker embolization.

Results: Retrograde venous navigation was possible with two parallel microcatheters, and the pressure cooker technique with ethylenvinylalcohol-polymer was applicable in both cases. One AVM was occluded completely, and one subtotally due to a second draining vein. No clinical complications occurred.

Conclusion: A transvenous approach for embolization with liquid embolics may offer advantages in treating certain spinal AVMs.

Residual brain arteriovenous malformations (BAVMs) following stereotactic radiosurgery are not uncommon and the optimal subsequent management remains undetermined.1-3 Endovascular embolization has been reported as an effective treatment for residual BAVMs after radiosurgery,4 5 and has the advantage over repeat radiosurgery in selected cases as angiographic weak points can be secured immediately and the risk of radiation-induced complications is less of a concern.6 7 In this technical video (video 1), we demonstrate the transvenous embolization of a previously-irradiated arteriovenous malformation and a persistent venous pouch using the retrograde pressure cooker technique, with emphasis on the important recommendations for avoiding periprocedural complications.

Article Synopsis
  • Vein of Galen malformations are congenital issues treated mainly through endovascular embolization, but challenges arise in patients with venous blockages that can lead to complications.
  • A study reviewed pediatric cases where an intracranial venous sinus stent was used to enhance blood flow following transvenous embolization, improving outcomes.
  • Results showed that all three patients experienced successful treatment with normal venous drainage post-procedure, although one had a temporary nerve issue unrelated to the stent.
