FLOW-diverted Glue Embolization to Target lesions (FLOW-GET) technique for spinal vascular diseases: A technical note.

ABSTRACT

We present and exemplify the flow-diverted glue embolization to target lesions (FLOW-GET) technique for spinal vascular diseases. In this technique, the occlusion of the posterior intercostal artery or dorsal muscular branch by coils diverts the injected glue from the segmental artery to the target lesions. This technique was applied to a ruptured retrocorporeal artery aneurysm and spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas. The FLOW-GET accomplished the complete obliteration of all lesions. This simple and useful technique can be applied to spinal vascular lesions even if a microcatheter is not placed in proper feeders or advanced close to the shunt points or aneurysms.
