  • Title: Percutaneous reposition of dislodged coils in the treatment of a vertebral arteriovenous fistula--with CT follow-up.

    Abstract:
    We report a case of vertebral arteriovenous fistula in which embolization was complicated by migration of two coils and a partially inflated balloon. In order to relieve compression to the spinal cord, the displaced balloon was punctured percutaneously. For both relieving compression to the spinal cord and obliterating the residual fistula, the dislodged coils in the partially thrombosed epidural venous sinus were removed percutaneously and placed in the fistula, and more coils were implanted in the fistula percutaneously through the needle. CT follow-up half a year later showed complete resolution of compression of the spinal cord and complete recovery from myelopathy was clinically apparent.
