The Onyx Liquid Embolic System (Medtronic) effectively occludes cerebral arteriovenous malformations (cAVMs), new observational data suggest. In a prospective, real-world study of more than 100 ...

A 2720-g male infant was delivered to a 26-year-old multiparous woman from cephalic presentation by emergent cesarean delivery at term because of a non-reassuring fetal heart pattern. The pregnancy ...

Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) of the brain are intracranial tangled anastomoses of arteries and veins, without intervening capillaries, in the brain parenchyma. AVMs account for 1–2% of all ...

Cerebral microembolization is inherent to transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) but is not associated with increased neurological deficits or acutely impaired neurocognitive function, ...

Embolization has different variations. These include transarterial, transvenous, and percutaneous embolization. The goal of this technique for AVM treatment is to block the blood vessel that is ...

Skipping balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) before balloon-expandable TAVR shortens procedure time and lessens contrast amount but may increase the volume of cerebral ischemic lesions detected days ...

Early detection of cerebral aneurysms is increasing due to periodic health examinations. The current treatment method uses coil embolization, which lowers the direction and pressure of internal blood ...

An AVM is an abnormal tangle of arteries and veins, often found in the brain, that disrupts normal blood flow Tricia Despres is a writer for PEOPLE digital, covering everything from country music to ...

Cerebral aneurysms are malformations caused by abnormalities on the walls of blood vessels in the brain. When these blood vessels rupture, about 30% of the sufferers die on the spot, giving these the ...
