[Endovascular embolization of cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM)].
The paper presents the technique and outcomes of brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM) endovascular treatment using a glue-lipiodol mixture. Embolization was attempted in 33 AVM patients (18 women). In 6 cases (18%) AVMs were complicated by brain aneurysms. In 20 patients (61% of cases) the presence of AVM was manifested by intracranial bleeding.


RESULTS
87 procedures were performed; the nidus was completely embolized in every case, total occlusion of AVM was obtained in 12 (35%) cases, subtotal (i.e. 75%) in 13 (36%) cases, and 50% occlusion--in 9 (28%) cases. Out of 8 (24%) cases in which complications occurred, one patient (2%) died.
