Summary
This study shows that simultaneous double microballoon-occluded ethanol embolization is effective for treating pelvic arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). This minimally invasive technique successfully occluded the AVM shunt, leading to vein shrinkage and symptom resolution.
Area of Science:
- Interventional Radiology
- Vascular Surgery
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Pelvic arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) can present with complex anatomy.
- Aneurysmal dominant outflow veins (DOVs) pose treatment challenges.
- Transvenous approaches may be anatomically difficult for pelvic AVMs.
