title: Adjunct to Embolize the High-Flow Fistula Part of Arteriovenous Malformation Using a Double-Lumen Balloon Catheter.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this study is to report our initial experience of Onyx embolization of the high-flow fistula part of arteriovenous malformation (AVM) using a double-lumen balloon catheter.
  
  
  METHODS
  A Scepter C balloon catheter was used in 2 patients with AVMs associated with high-flow fistulas. The fistulas were located in the anterior cerebral artery and the middle cerebral artery.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Onyx embolization was successful in 2 cases, resulting in elimination of the high-flow fistula part of the AVM. There were no treatment-related events.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The double-lumen Scepter balloon appears to be a safe and convenient device for Onyx embolization of high-flow fistulas.
