ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Adjuvant coils may offer advantages in flow control during glue embolization of high flow vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation (VGAM) patients but involves specific issues such as feasibility, durability and coil mass effect. The purpose of this study is to assess the outcome of adjuvant coils in addition to transarterial glue embolization for treatment of these patients. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Five pediatric VGAM patients (age range; 11 weeks to 2 yrs 2 mos) with high flow fistulous angioarchitecture were treated with adjuvant coils 1) in the distal feeding artery and/or 2) in the vein of Galen followed by glue embolization of the shunt. The angiographic / clinical outcomes were assessed.RESULTS:
Adjuvant coils were deployed in the distal feeding artery (n=3), vein of Galen pouch plus distal feeding artery (n=2). Additional transarterial glue embolization of the fistulae was successfully performed (n=4). Complete occlusion was achieved with coils in one case. Complete occlusion was achieved for all mural type cases (n=4). Residual feeders remained in a case of choroidal type of VGAM. No complications were noted related to the treatment. All patients showed normal development on follow up (range 7.6 to 88.8 mo, mean 49.3 mo). Initial hydrocephalus improved on follow up despite coil mass effect in dilated vein of Galen.CONCLUSION:
Adjuvant coils for flow control with glue embolization may be a safe and effective treatment method for VGAM patients with high flow fistulous feeders.Palabras clave
