    CITATION: FENG XU, WEI NI, YUJUN LIAO, YUXIANG GU, BIN XU, BING LENG, DONGLEI SONG. ONYX EMBOLIZATION FOR THE TREATMENT OF BRAIN ARTERIOVENOUS MALFORMATIONS. ACTA NEUROCHIR (2011). PUBLISHED ONLINE: 28 OCTOBER 2010 THE PURPOSE OF THIS ARTICLE WAS TO STUDY THE EXPERIENCE IN THE TREATMENT OF BRAIN AVMS WITH ONYX EMBOLIZATION. BETWEEN JANUARY 2004 AND DECEMBER 2007, 86 PATIENTS WITH BRAIN AVMS WERE EMBOLIZED WITH ONYX. THE AUTHORS CONCLUDE THAT ALTHOUGH ONYX ALLOWS MODERATE OBLITERATION RATES, COMBINED MANAGEMENT, SUCH AS ADJUNCTIVE EMBOLIZATION WITH MICROSURGERY OR RADIOSURGERY, MAY BE EFFECTIVE FOR SELECTED LARGE AVMS. THE MEAN PATIENT AGE WAS 30.3 YEARS (RANGE, 8¿55 YEARS). THERE WERE 51 MEN AND 35 WOMEN. THE REPORTED DEVICE IS EITHER THE MARATHON MICROCATHETER OR ULTRAFLOW MICROCATHETER. THE PRODUCTS WERE NOT RETURNED FOR EVALUATION AS THIS WAS AN EVENT CAPTURED THROUGH LITERATURE REVIEW. THERE IS LIMITED PATIENT AND DEVICE INFORMATION AVAILABLE; IN THIS ARTICLE IT WAS REPORTED THAT BOTH THE MARATHON AND ULTRAFLOW MICROCATHETERS WERE USED. IT WAS NOT REPORTED WHICH MICROCATHETER WAS USED IN THIS PROCEDURE. BASED ON THE REPORTED INFORMATION, REVIEW OF IFUS, AND REVIEW OF LITERATURE TO INVESTIGATE THE COMPLAINT, THE MOST LIKELY CAUSE FOR THE REPORTED EVENT IS PROCEDURE RELATED. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION HAS BEEN REQUESTED ON EACH CASE; SHOULD THE INFORMATION BECOME AVAILABLE, A SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT WILL BE SUBMITTED. MDRS FROM THIS EVENT: 2029214-2017-00499, 2029214-2017-00500 MDRS FROM THIS LITERATURE REVIEW: 2029214-2017-00493, 2029214-2017-00494, 2029214-2017-00495, 2029214-2017-00496, 2029214-2017-00497, 2029214-2017-00498, 2029214-2017-00501.
