Right posterior temporal BAVM treated in single-session procedure.
A and B, Initial angiogram showing the nidus and the cortical drainage veins in anteroposterior (AP) and lateral views.
C, Selective angiogram in AP view showing the microcatheterization with an intranidal position of the microcatheter tip (arrowhead), the nidal network (arrow), and one of the draining veins (white arrow).
D and E, Nonsubtracted images in AP and lateral view showing the Onyx cast with some degree of reflux into the arterial feeder (arrow) and the draining vein filled by the embolic agent (white arrows).
F and G, Final angiogram in AP and lateral views demonstrating the total occlusion of the BAVM.
- Fig 2.
Large left frontal BAVM treated in staged sessions.
A and B, Initial angiogram in anteroposterior (AP) and lateral views showing various arterial feeders allowing for nidal catheterization. To reduce periprocedural or postprocedural ischemic or hemorrhagic complications, the BAVM was gradually occluded in 3 sessions.
C and D, Nonsubtracted images in AP and lateral views showing the extensive Onyx cast.
E and F, Final angiographic control demonstrating total BAVM occlusion.
