Area of Science:

  • Interventional Radiology
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Pelvic arteriovenous malformations (pAVMs) are vascular anomalies that can cause severe symptoms like hematuria and menometrorrhagia.
  • Rupture of pAVMs poses a life-threatening risk.
  • Endovascular embolization is the primary treatment modality for pAVMs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a retrospective multicenter experience with embolization of pelvic arteriovenous malformations.
  • To provide an overview of the current literature on pAVM treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 18 patients (14 female, 4 male) with pAVMs treated with minimally invasive endovascular methods.
  • Pre-procedural imaging included color Doppler ultrasound, CT, and MRI.
  • Treatment involved transarterial or percutaneous direct puncture embolization.

Main Results:

  • Complete occlusion was achieved in 67% of patients.
  • 78% had satisfactory embolization and significant long-term clinical improvement.
  • 88% of patients were satisfied with the clinical outcome, with one successful pregnancy reported post-treatment.

Conclusions:

  • Endovascular embolization is a safe, feasible, and clinically effective treatment for pAVMs.
  • Understanding pelvic AVM hemodynamics and anatomy is crucial for successful treatment planning.
  • Minimally invasive endovascular methods offer a reliable alternative to traditional surgical therapy for pAVMs.
