High-flow-rate arteriovenous malformation model for simulated therapeutic embolization.
A laboratory model of an arteriovenous malformation has been developed. Embolizations of the model were successfully performed under fluoroscopic guidance with collagen particles and cyanoacrylate liquid polymer. The model is inexpensive, easy to construct, and reduces the need for laboratory animals.
