RESUMO
Transvenous embolization has become the treatment of choice for such lesions We evaluated Onxy for patients with cavernous dural arteriovenous fistulae (CDAVFs) who underwent transvenous embolization via different transvenous approaches. Case records of six patients with symptomatic CDAVFs, treated between October 2006 and November 2007 were reviewed. A total of seven transvenous procedures were performed in the six patients with CDAVFs. All the patients with CDAVFs of the cavernous sinus were symptom free following embolization. The approach via the internal jugular vein and the inferior petrosal sinus was possible in four of the six patients, with complete occlusion of the fistula. In the remaining two patients, the approach was via the facial vein. Transient bradyarrythmia without morbidity was the only complication in two patients.

The beta-lactamase (BLA) genes, the genes for aminoglycosides-modifying enzymes (AMEs), disinfectant-sulfanilamide resistance (qacEDelta1-sul1) genes, class 1 integrase (intl1) gene, and the qnr gene associated with plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance were analyzed using PCR and verified by DNA sequencing for 31 clinical isolates of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDRAB). The organism typing was performed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). The positive rate of ADC, TEM, PER, and DHA of BLA genes were 100%, 61.3%, 19.4%, and 3.2%, respectively; however, the genes of SHV, OXA-23 group, OXA-24 group, GES, VIM, IMP, and qnr gene were negative. The positive rate of the genes of AMEs for aac (3)-I, aac (6')-I, ant (3")-I, ant (2")-I, aac (3)-II, and aac (6')-II were 67.7%, 45.2%, 29.0%, 22.6%, 12.9%, and 3.2%, respectively. The positive rate of qacEDelta1-sul1 and intl1 were 80.6% and 58.1%, respectively. Six different PFGE clones were found, of which two dominated. The findings show that clinical isolates of MDRAB harbor various kinds of resistance genes.
