dc.description.abstract | The Amplatzer (R) Vascular Plug (AVP) can be used to embolize medium-to-large high-flow vessels in various locations. Between 2009 and 2012, 41 AVPs (device size, 6-22 mm in diameter) were used to achieve occlusion in 31 patients (24 males, seven females) aged 9-92 years (mean age, 54.5 years). The locations and indications for embolotherapy were as follows: internal iliac artery embolization before stent-graft repair for aorto-iliac (n=6) and common iliac artery (n=3) aneurysms, subclavian artery embolization before stent-graft repair for thoracic aorta (n=3) and arcus aorta (n=1) aneurysms, brachiocephalic trunk embolization before stent-graft repair for a thoracic aorta aneurysm (n=1), embolization of aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms (n=5), embolization for carotid blow-out syndrome (n=3), closure of arteriovenous fistula (n=8), and closure of a portosystemic fistula (n=1). Of the 41 AVPs, 30 were AVP 2 and 11 were AVP 4. The mean follow-up duration was 4.7 months (range, 1-24 months). During follow-up, there was one migration, one insufficient embolization, and one recanalization. The remaining vascular lesions were successfully excluded from the circulation. The AVP, which can be used in a wide spectrum of pathologies, is easy to use and causes few complications. This essay presents our experience with the AVP. | en_US |
