Embold™ Fibered Coils treats an AVM
Presentation
Complex PAVM of the right upper lobe with multiple feeders. This was found incidentally on a head and neck CTA for headache.
Intervention
A 5 F diagnostic catheter was used to enter the right pulmonary artery. A TruSelect™ Microcatheter was subsequently utilized to catheterize two right upper lobe pulmonary artery branches supplying a pulmonary AVM. Embold Fibered Coils were successfully deployed precisely into only these feeding arteries. Both the microcatheter and coils tracked very easily without any movement during coil deployment.
Outcome
Embold Fibered Coils occluded the flow to this complex pulmonary AVM.
