Balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous embolization of a pelvic arteriovenous malformation

Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol. 1999 Nov-Dec;22(6):518-20. doi: 10.1007/s002709900443.

Abstract

We successfully performed embolization therapy for a pelvic arteriovenous malformation by the retrograde transvenous approach using a liquid embolic material. This malformation was unique in that it had a single draining vein, which allowed this technique employing an occlusion balloon.
