(2023). ASSOCIATION OF EMBOLIZATION WITH LONG-TERM OUTCOMES IN BRAIN ARTERIOVENOUS MALFORMATIONS: A PROPENSITY SCORE-MATCHED ANALYSIS USING NATIONWIDE MULTICENTER PROSPECTIVE REGISTRY DATA. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SURGERY, 109(7), 1900¿1909. HTTPS://DOI.ORG/10.1097/JS9.0000000000000341. MEDTRONIC REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE ARTICLE FOUNDS THAT THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY WAS TO COMPARE THE LONG-TERM OUTCOMES OF HEMORRHAGIC STROKE OR DEATH IN PATIENTS WITH EITHER CONSERVATIVE MANAGEMENT OR STAND-ALONE EMBOLIZATION FOR BRAIN ARTERIOVENOUS MALFORMATIONS (AVMS). A TOTAL OF 622 (311 PAIRS) PATIENTS CONSTITUTED AN OVERALL STUDY COHORT WHICH INCLUDED 288 CASES (144 PAIRS) INCLUDED IN THE RUPTURED SUBGROUP AND 252 CASES (126 PAIRS) IN THE UNRUPTURED SUBGROUP. A TOTAL OF 311 PATIENTS UNDERWENT EMBOLIZATION TREATMENT AS THE STAND-ALONE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY. PER THE ARTICLE, ONYX LIQUID EMBOLIZATION WAS THE MOST COMMONLY USED EMBOLIC AGENT. NO MALFUNCTION ASSOCIATED WITH. IN THE EMBOLIZATION STUDY COHORT, 8 PATIENTS DIED DURING VARYING FOLLOW-UP PERIODS. THE ARTICLE DOES NOT SPECIFY THE EXACT CAUSES OF PATIENT DEATHS IN THE EMBOLIZATION COHORT. IT PROVIDES COMPARATIVE STATISTICS AND HAZARD RATIOS RELATED TO MORTALITY AND HEMORRHAGIC STROKE BUT DOES NOT DETAIL THE SPECIFIC CAUSES OF DEATH FOR THOSE WHO UNDERWENT EMBOLIZATION. THE ARTICLE ALSO REPORTED PATIENT INJURIES THAT DID NOT RESULT IN DEATH: SPECIFICALLY, IT MENTIONS THAT THERE WERE 14 ISCHEMIC STROKES AND 1 INTRAOPERATIVE HEMORRHAGIC STROKE DURING THE PERIOPERATIVE PERIOD. ADDITIONALLY, THE ARTICLE REPORTS A POSTEMBOLIZATION ANNUAL RUPTURE RATE OF 1.64% IN THE EMBOLIZATION COHORT. HOWEVER, IT IS THE EXACT NUMBER OF PATIENTS WHO EXPERIENCED POSTEMBOLIZATION RUPTURE IN THE EMBOLIZATION COHORT IS NOT EXPLICITLY STATED. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION RECEIVED REPORTED THE ADVERSE EVENTS RELATED TO THIS STUDY ONLY COLLECTED LONG-TERM HEMORRHAGIC EVENTS, WHICH WERE NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE MEDTRONIC DEVICES/PRODUCTS. LONG-TERM RUPTURE OF AVM WAS THE BLEEDING OF THE LESION ITSELF AND THEREFORE ASSOCIATED WITH THE PATIENT CONDITION. THERE WAS NO SIGNIFICANT CORRELATION WITH THE EMBOLIZATION MATERIALS. IT WAS NOTED THAT MARATHON CATHETERS WERE ALSO USED IN SOME CASES.
