title: Transcatheter occlusive therapy of genitourinary abnormalities using isobutyl 2-cyanoacrylate (Bucrylate).
abstract: Transcatheter occlusive therapy was performed with isobutyl 2-cyanoacrylate (Bucrylate) in 14 patients with a variety of genitourinary abnormalities. Bucrylate was found to be a valuable agent when used to: (1) occlude vessels with very slow flow; (2) occlude vessels in patients with coagulopathies; (3) occlude high flow arteriovenous fistulas; (4) perform superselective vessel occlusion; and (5) produce permanent vessel obliteration. Bucrylate was used effectively in this group of patients and was used without complications or evidence of histotoxicity.
