We describe a minimally invasive endovascular approach to treat an arteriovenous fistula of the scalp. We performed a direct puncture of the lesion through the patient’s scalp for liquid embolic agent injection along with external compression of the superficial temporal artery to perform a “manual pressure-cooker technique.” The combination of these minimally invasive techniques resulted in an excellent clinical and radiographic outcome.

“…The endovascular pressure-cooker technique is well described from the arterial and venous sides, as well as with retrograde approaches [ 8 - 11 ]. In this case, we did not utilize radioprotective gloves during the embolization, but this is a point for future consideration and an area of ongoing research [ 12 ].…”

“…The researchers determined that wearing protective gloves would substantially decrease the radiation dose for the HCW 10 . Although protective gloves used during procedures requiring radiation may contain lead, researchers continue to explore the protective properties of lead‐free materials that also may provide protection for the wearer, remain flexible, and avoid diminishing the wearer’s sense of touch during sterile procedures 11 …”

“…A current phantom study was able to show that a reduction of the equivalent dose of 42.6 % can be achieved by using radiation protection gloves consisting of rubber and metal oxides (e. g. bismuth) with almost the same comfort level as conventional gloves. However, use of these gloves in the primary beam results in an increase in the equivalent dose for the hands of 64.5 % [48]. To avoid this risk, tools such as needle holders are regularly used.…”

Background The increasing number of minimally invasive fluoroscopy-guided interventions is likely to result in higher radiation exposure for interventional radiologists and medical staff. Not only the number of procedures but also the complexity of these procedures and therefore the exposure time as well are growing. There are various radiation protection means for protecting medical staff against scatter radiation. This article will provide an overview of the different protection devices, their efficacy in terms of radiation protection and the corresponding dosimetry. Method The following key words were used to search the literature: radiation protection, eye lens dose, radiation exposure in interventional radiology, cataract, cancer risk, dosimetry in interventional radiology, radiation dosimetry. Results and Conclusion Optimal radiation protection always requires a combination of different radiation protection devices. Radiation protection and monitoring of the head and neck, especially of the eye lenses, is not yet sufficiently accepted and further development is needed in this field. To reduce the risk of cataract, new protection glasses with an integrated dosimeter are to be introduced in clinical routine practice. Key Points: Citation Format
