Treatment of congenital coronary arteriovenous malformations with micro-particle embolization

Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn. 1991 Feb;22(2):133-6. doi: 10.1002/ccd.1810220214.

Abstract

The successful treatment of a symptomatic coronary arteriovenous malformation (CAVM) by a percutaneous embolization technique with micro-particles is described. Objective evidence of ischemia and its subsequent disappearance after embolization is presented. The embolization technique and possible indications and contraindications are discussed.
