ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
This study was designed to assess the safety and effectiveness of ethanolamine oleate (EO) sclerotherapy combined with transarterial embolization using a liquid adhesive agent (n-butyl cyanoacrylate, NBCA) for treatment of extracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs).METHODS:
Twenty-four patients with symptomatic AVMs in the head and neck (n = 15), extremity (n = 5), and trunk (n = 4) with a mean age of 44 years (range, 18-78) treated with EO sclerotherapy were retrospectively assessed. AVMs were classified according to the angiographic morphology of the nidus. There were 7 type II (arteriolovenous fistulae), 6 type IIIa (arteriolovenulous fistulae with nondilated fistula), and 11 type IIIb (arteriolovenulous fistulae with dilated fistula). Transarterial embolization using NBCA was performed to reduce arterial flow before sclerotherapy. EO mixed with contrast material was delivered by percutaneous direct puncture or by catheterization into the draining vein under balloon occlusion.RESULTS:
Three (13%) of 24 patients were cured, 17 (71%) had partial remission, and 4 (16%) no remission. Treatment was considered effective (cure and partial remission) in 20 patients (83%). Four patients (16%) experienced transient minor complications, including self-healing skin ulcer (n = 3) and localized deep venous thrombosis (n = 1). There were no major complications.CONCLUSIONS:
EO sclerotherapy combined with transarterial embolization using NBCA is safe and effective for treating extracranial AVMs with an acceptable risk of minor complications.
