Abstract :
Renal arteriovenous malformations are rare, as is their
embolization with Onyx. Endovascular curative embolization of renal
arteriovenous malformations with Onyx is a relatively new procedure.
Herein we present two cases of congenital and one case of acquired renal
arteriovenous malformation embolized with Onyx 18 and their good results
in the follow-up period. We used detachable microcatheters, which may be
more advantageous than the nondetachable ones, during the superselective
embolizations. Onyx, as an efficient embolic material, can be commonly
used for curative embolization of the renal arteriovenous malformations.
