  • Title: Use of a balloon and N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate for treatment of arteriovenous fistula.
    Author: Dönmez H, Mavili E, Toker B, Oztürk MH, Soylu SO, Hekimoğlu B.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 2008 Jul; 31 Suppl 2():S111-4. PubMed ID: 17962994.
    Abstract:
    We report a patient who developed a large arteriovenous fistula in right lower extremity after gunshot injury. Because other endovascular methods failed, the patient was successfully treated with concomitant use of detachable latex balloon and N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA). The combination of detachable balloon and NBCA can be effectively used for endovascular treatment of peripheral arteriovenous fistulas in selected cases when effective embolization could not be achieved with other embolizing agents or their various combinations.
