E-009 Initial experience of curative transvenous embolization of cerebral arteriovenous malformations using rapid ventricular pacing for flow arrest
ConclusionRVP may be successfully used to obtain flow arrest during neuroendovascular procedures, particularly those that require precise and controllable delivery of embolic material. This is a highly effective technique for curative transvenous embolization of cerebral AVMs in carefully selected patients, particularly those with AVMs that are small, with a single draining vein, and unresectable due to deep location (SM grade III or less). These preliminary results highlight the need for future studies to validate efficacy and optimize patient selection.Disclosures A. White: None. J. Corona: None. R. Joshi: None. B. Welch...
