[Embolization of traumatic vascular injuries, arteriovenous malformations and tumors].
The article contains a brief survey of the current status of transcatheter embolization of traumatic and iatrogenic vascular lesions, arterio-venous malformations and tumours. Guidelines are suggested for embolization of different lesions is given, with emphasis on indications and contraindications for performing such procedures. Complications following embolization are described. Our own experience of embolization is briefly mentioned. Personally, we have most experience in embolization of liver metastases from neuroendocrine tumours, and some experience of treatment of traumatic vascular lesions and arterio-venous malformations.
