Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo report our experience to embolize the AVM of jaws by direct puncture in conjunction with endovascular treatment.
METHODS5 cases of AVM of mandible and 2 cases of AVM of maxilla comprised this study group. The patients were embolized with coils with wool strands and PVA. The coils were placed directly into the center of the intraosseous lesion. The procedure was under the guidance of DSA machine (PHILIPS V3000).
RESULTSThe acute arterial bleeding of 4 patients was controllable. The chronic oozing bleeding in the other 3 cases disappeared in the 3 - 24 months follow-up and new bone formation was found in the follow-up radiography.
CONCLUSIONSThe embolization of the AVM of jaws by direct puncture in conjunction with endovascular therapy is effective and safe, however the longer follow-up is expected.
