Salvage of flow-directed microcatheter after hub failure

We describe the use of an epidural catheter adapter to salvage a flow- directed microcatheter in situ after fracture of the plastic catheter hub. This technique eliminates the need to remove the failed catheters prematurely and enables successful delivery of liquid embolic agent into arteriovenous malformations in the brain.
