This multicenter experience represents the largest reported series of balloon-augmented Onyx embolization of cerebral AVMs. The technique appears safe and effective in the treatment of AVMs, allowing more efficient and controlled injection of Onyx with a decreased risk of reflux and decreased fluoro …

We review our experience with balloon-augmented Onyx embolization of cerebral AVMs using a dual-lumen balloon catheter technique designed to minimize these challenges.

We describe the advantages of utilizing a recently released dual lumen balloon catheter for ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer, also known as Onyx (ev3, Irvine, California, USA), embolization for a variety of head and neck pathologies.

2018年7月13日 · Compliant dual-lumen balloon microcatheters have been used to perform balloon-assisted embolization (BAE) of brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) with ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (Onyx). However, vessel rupture and microcatheter retention have been reported from BAE using these microcatheters.

Onyx injection via a dual-lumen balloon catheter can augment the controllability of embolization while preventing reflux. Each of these techniques can facilitate safe and effective Onyx embolization in the treatment of complicated dAVFs, and their combination may further expand the therapeutic horizon.

2021年1月19日 · Controlled injection made with dual-lumen balloons (DLB) may aid NALA injections and prevent some disadvantages seen in widely used conventional embolization techniques (17, 19). We aim to present our initial experience in peripheral AVM embolization with NALA performed in DLB.

This multicenter experience represents the largest reported series of balloon-augmented Onyx embolization of cerebral AVMs, allowing more efficient and controlled injection of Onyx with a decreased risk of reflux and decreased fluoroscopy times.

2013年10月1日 · The recent introduction of dimethyl-sulfoxide (DMSO)-compatible double-lumen balloon catheters has enhanced the ability to overcome some of the shortcomings associated with Onyx embolization. This report describes our initial experience as well as the embolization techniques and advantages of using DMSO-compatible double-lumen balloon catheters.

2024年9月1日 · Dual-lumen balloon microcatheters allow for controlled anterograde flow of Onyx while providing proximal flow arrest, thereby obviating the need for a second microcatheter or Onyx plug formation.

Endovascular balloon-assisted embolization of intracranial and cervical arteriovenous malformations using dual lumen co-axial balloon microcatheters and Onyx: initial experience.
