Arterial Occlusion Using a Microguidewire as a Radiofrequency Electrode

Abstract: Diseased arteries can be endovascularly occluded using a microguidewire to deliver radiofrequency energy. However, further development of the technique is needed to circumvent wire adhesion to the arterial wall and optimize RF delivery to avoid damage to adjacent structures.

“…The determining characteristic for the choice of the most appropriate method is the classification of lesions based on blood flow velocity. Transarterial or transvenous embolization is preferred for treatment of high-flow malformations, and can be performed by means of solid embolizing agents, such as platinum metal coils with controlled detachment, eventually with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) microparticles, Gelfoam, and others (18)(19)(20) , or adhesive liquid agents, such as cyanoacrylate, and nonadhesive liquid agents such as Onyx (ev3 Neurovascular, Inc.; Irvine, CA, USA) (21) . For the treatment of low-flow lesions, the choice is percutaneous sclerotherapy.…”
