Cirsoid renal arteriovenous malformation treated by endovascular embolization with n-butyl 2-cyanoacrylate

Abstract: The authors report a rare case of renal arteriovenous malformation (rAVM) which was diagnosed by arteriography years after onset of intermittent haematuria. The rAVM of the cirsoid type was superselectively catheterized and embolized in toto with n-butyl 2-cyanoacrylate. Diagnostic imaging modalities and the technique of embolization are discussed.

“…Although the procedure using resorbable gelatin sponges is inadequate for achieving definitive renal embolization, it may also occasionally be useful in certain situations, such as renal trauma, in which transient embolization may be adequate to interrupt the retroperitoneal bleeding (28). In contrast, numerous authors have reported limited success with gelatin sponges, showing temporal embolization and late recanalization (25). This was also the case in the current patient.…”

“…Depending on the clinical circumstances of the patients, radiological intervention might also be required. However, the variability in the treatment methods has made it difficult to develop optimal practice recommendations (18,25,26). Currently, various embolic agents, including gelatin sponges, coils, polyvinyl alcohol particles and NBCA, are available for the percutaneous treatment of such renal vascular lesions, and the efficiency of such treatment depends on the appropriate choice of embolization material (27).…”

“…They usually remain asymptomatic during lifetime. Most published studies reported on sonographic and color Doppler findings (2,7), angiographic studies (1,4) or computed tomographic findings (11,13). Herein we present a case of congenital RAVM which was diagnosed by multidetector row computed tomography angiography (MDCTA) and a brief review of the literature.…”

“…However, iatrogenic vascular lesions occurred in 2% cases of minimally invasive partial nephrectomy, which still required angioembolization to control gross hematuria [8]. Alternatively, selective transarterial embolization (TAE) has been developed for use in patients with renal AVM [9,10,11]. …”
