Summary
The authors describe the technic, indications and complications of the embolization in the external carotid and medullary territories. Their experience is based on 60 cases of vascular tumors and arterioverious malformations. All the embolizations, using GELFOAM, have been carried out by femoral approach and with superselective catheterisation of either branches of external carotid or intercostal arteries.
Résumé
Les auteurs décrivent la technique, les indications et complications de l'embolisation dans les domaines carotidien externe et médullaire. Leur expérience est basée sur 60 cas de tumeurs vasculaires et malformations artérioveineuses. Toutes les embolisations à l'aide de Gelfoam ont été pratiquées par voie fémorale et par cathétérisme super-sélectif soit des branches de la carotide externe, soit des artères intercostales.
Zusammenfassung
Die Autoren beschreiben die Technik, die Indikationen und die Komplikationsmöglichkeiten bei der Embolisation in den Externa-Kreislauf und im Gebiet des Rückenmarks. Es handelte sich dabei um Erfahrungen an 60 Fällen von Gefäßgeschwülsten und arterio-venösen Mißbildungen. Als Zugangsweg wurde die A. femoralis gewählt. Es handelte sich im einzelnen um eine superselektive Katheterisierung einzelner Äste der A. carotis externa oder der Intercostal-Arterien.
