[Embolization of AVM of jaws]
1Department of Radiology, Ninth People's Hospital, Shanghai Second Medical University, Shanghai 200011, China.
Objective:
To report our experience to embolize the AVM of jaws by direct percutaneous puncture. in conjunction with endovascular therapy.
Methods:
3 cases of AVM of mandible and 3 cases of AVM of maxilla comprised this study group. The patients were embolized with fibered coils, PVA and NBCA. The coils were placed directly into the center of the intraosseous lesion. The procedure was under the guidance of DSA machine (PHILIPS V3000).
Results:
The acute arterial bleeding in 4 patients was controllable. The other two cases with oozing bleeding and a warm soft mass on the left face with a palpable pulse respectively, their symptoms and signs got improved a lot. The pericoronal oozing of blood in all patients disappeared during a 3 to 24 months follow-up and new bone formation was found in the follow-up radiography.
Conclusion:
The embolization of the AVM of jaws by direct percutaneous puncture in conjunction with endovascular therapy is effective and safe, however the longer follow-up is expected.
