Abstract:
Catheter embolization of renal arteriovenous fistulas is an effective alternative treatment to surgery; general anaesthesia is not necessary and the hospitalization is limited to 2-3 days. Suitable catheters, permanent occlusion material, such as butylcyanoacrylate, and balloon occlusion technique provide a safe and successful embolization even in cases with massive arteriovenous malformations.
