Abstract:
From Aug. 1986 to June 1992, 193 cases of craniocerebral vascular diseases were treated with intravascular embolization. Among these there were 52 cases of carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF), 31 intracranial aneurysms, 83 arteriovenous malformations (AVM), and 27 dural AVMs. Intravascular embolization was first used in the treatment of CCF and dural AVM. For those of non-clippable aneurysms, detachable balloon catheter was adopted, but investigation of whole brain vessels and Matas' test should be made before embolization. As to brain AVM, embolization or combination of embolization and surgery is practical in some cases. Use of IBCA glue or silk suture in embolization is depends on the anatomical feature of AVM.
