    Description of Event or Problem · 0

    MEDTRONIC LITERATURE REVIEW FOUND A REPORT OF SMALL OCCIPITAL ISCHEMIC LESION IN ASSOCIATION WITH ONYX EMBOLIZATION WITH USE OF THE MARATHON CATHETER. THE TIME FRAME OF THIS STUDY WAS FROM JANUARY 2010 TO JUNE 2021. THE PURPOSE OF THIS ARTICLE WAS TO ASSESS THE EFFECTIVENESS AND SAFETY OF ENDOVASCULAR TREATMENT IN THIS PATIENT POPULATION AND TO EVALUATE THE OUTCOMES OF THE TREATMENT, INCLUDING THE NEED FOR ADJUVANT THERAPY AND FOLLOW-UP RESULTS. THE AUTHORS REVIEWED 2 CASES OF PEDIATRIC PATIENTS TREATED FOR ARTERIOVENOUS MALFORMATION USING ONYX. THERE WERE A TOTAL OF 12 PATIENTS IN THIS STUDY, THE REMAINING 10 PATIENTS WERE TREATED WITH NBCA. OF THE 2 PATIENTS, THE AVERAGE AGE WAS 14 YEARS, 1 WAS FEMALE AND 1 WAS MALE. THE STUDY SUPPORTS THE EFFECTIVENESS AND SAFETY OF ENDOVASCULAR TREATMENT OF BAVM IN SELECTED PEDIATRIC PATIENTS. A MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH COMBINING SURGERY AND SRS IS WARRANTED TO ACHIEVE HIGHER COMPLETE BAVM OBLITERATION RATES. LONG-TERM FOLLOW-UP IS IMPORTANT AS THESE LESIONS MAY SHOW RECURRENCE OVER TIME, ESPECIALLY IN THE PEDIATRIC POPULATION. THE ARTICLE DOES NOT STATE ANY TECHNICAL ISSUES DURING USE OF THE ONYX OR THE MARATHON CATHETER. IN ADDITION, THE ONE PATIENT'S MRS SCORE AT 6 MONTHS WAS 1 AND THE OTHER WAS A SCORE OF 2. THE FOLLOWING INTRA- OR POST-PROCEDURAL OUTCOMES WERE NOTED: SMALL OCCIPITAL ISCHEMIC LESION WITH SUBSEQUENT HOMONYMOUS HEMIANOPIA IN 1 PATIENT
