Conclusion
A combined approach using transarterial and direct puncture embolization effectively treated a large mandibular arteriovenous malformation without complications.
Supporting Evidence
- The patient showed thrombosis of the vascular spaces of the malformation after treatment.
- Follow-up imaging confirmed the effectiveness of the embolization procedure.
Takeaway
Doctors used two methods to block blood flow in a big blood vessel problem in a boy's jaw, and it worked well without any problems.
Methodology
The treatment involved embolization using both transarterial and direct puncture approaches with N-butyl cyanoacrylate glue.
Participant Demographics
An 11-year-old boy with a history of gradual mandibular enlargement.
