Radio-frequency thrombosis of vascular malformations with a transvascular magnetic catheter
Science (New York, N.Y.)
|April 3, 1970
Abstract:
A tiny magnetic electrode catheter introduced into the human carotid artery has been mechanically and magnetically propelled, with fluoroscopic control, to cranial arteriovenous malformations. Radio-frequency heating of the catheter tip in successive positions occludes abnormal blood vessels.
