Abstract
Endovascular interventions solely or in conjunction with other modalities, e.g., surgery, radiation, or a combination of these, play a crucial role in management of various vascular malformations. Embolic agents for this purpose include coils, Onyx®, PVA, and NBCA. Familiarity with these agents and catheters compatible with them for usage is important.
