Angiographic demonstration and silicone pellet embolization of facial hemangiomas of bone

Emergency percutaneous transcatheter embolisation of acute arterial haemorrhage

“…Transcatheter embolisation came to the fore in the 1970s with many authors using catheters to deliver various embolisation materials into the vasculature in order to reduce blood flow. Lin et al [2] used silicone in 1974, with Serbinenko [3] using detachable balloons, while Zanetti and Sherman [4] introduced the adhesive isobutyl 2-cyanoacrylate in the USA. Gelfoam particles were first described as embolisation material by Carey and Grace [5] again in 1974.…”

Intraosseous venous malformation of the zygoma: A case report and literature review

“…Angiography is essential not only to confirm the diagnosis, but also to aid in the preoperative management of the tumors [13] . VMs often show dilations of the vascular supply and venous drainage, pooling of contrast in ectatic vascular spaces, and shunting.…”

“…VMs often show dilations of the vascular supply and venous drainage, pooling of contrast in ectatic vascular spaces, and shunting. Because multiple arteries supply the lesion, embolization needs to be performed before the operation to prevent hemorrhage [13,14] .…”

Management of congenital vascular malformations of the limbs

“…Embolization under radical control is indicated in surgically inaccessible lesions and preoperatively to reduce intraoperative blood loss, whereas it is contraindicated in wide and short fistulae because of the risk of pulmonary embolism. Good results have been reported by several authors, such as Lin et al (1974) using silicone pellets and Feldmann et al (1975) using Gelfoam pledgets.…”
