  • Title: Occlusion of an intraosseous arteriovenous malformation with percutaneous injection of polymethylmethacrylate.
    Author: Ierardi AM, Mangini M, Vaghi M, Cazzulani A, Mattassi R, Carrafiello G.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 2011 Feb; 34 Suppl 2():S150-3. PubMed ID: 20945068.
    Abstract:
    Primary intraosseous arteriovenous malformations are rare. Many minimally invasive procedures can be considered preoperative steps and/or definitive treatment. The case reported regards a young woman with a voluminous arteriovenous extratroncular infiltrating malformation of the humerus. She underwent several treatments, but none of them was completely occlusive. The last treatment consisted of direct percutaneous puncture of the intraosseous alteration and injection of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), which is normally used in percutaneous vertebroplasty. We obtained complete occlusion of the humerus lytic lesion. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the first case of intraosseous AVM treated by percutaneous injection of PMMA.
