Does treating a fistula need to be complex? Would you use a balloon or coils, distal injections…or simply glue? Join Prof. Jacques Moret as he introduces a proven technique for effectively treating a brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM) using a solution of Glubran and Lipiodol….and time! Illustrated from a pre-recorded case of an 8-year-old female with normal development but chronic headache over 5 years, Prof. Moret explains the step-by-step process as it was presented during the last edition of LINNC Seminar 2019 - Asia Edition .
From the diagnostic MRIs and angiograms through to the 3D roadmap, we learn about the malformation and the technique used to treat it. Profs. Jacques Moret and Laurent Spelle discuss the type and length of the catheters employed, and why time – going slowly in injecting and deploying the solution – is critical to its success, and how bending the tip of the catheter allows for this slow control of the glue. Addressing the issue of visibility, they discuss how modern flat-panel technology, along with the solution used, Glubran 80%/Lipiodol 20%, provide sufficient visibility to further facilitate this simple approach. Other questions, such as drainage of the deep venous system, how glue differs from such alternatives as Onyx, or why you cannot inject glue through a balloon are discussed – and debated.
Take the time and join us here to learn why patience – and applied techniques – can be an elegant solution to treating AVMs.
