Abstract
A chemical embolization method using conjugated estrogen has been introduced as a new method for the treatment of inoperable arteriovenous malformations (including dural AVMs, and AVMs in central nervous system) and vascular rich tumors such as meningiomas. Forty-seven cases were treated, good results were achieved, and no remarkable complications were encountered.
