“…Our young patient tolerated the procedure without increasing signs of cardiac failure or fluid overloading following the injections of a total of 270 (200) ml of NaCl and 80 (60) ml Conray during one embolisation session. Tzonos et al (1975), Luessenhop (1975) and Rosenbluth et al (1960) have found in their patients with inter-2 Schwedische Kugellagerfabriken, Ernst-Sachs-StraBe 2-8, D-8720 Schweinfurt nal carotid artery embolisation that the emboli may go astray en route through the angioma landing in other areas, in homolateral or contralateral vessels. Aside from the blood flow through the angioma, another factor which determines the path of the spheres is the state of the overall circulation at the moment of the injection.…”

A seven month old boy suffered fron an inoperable extensive bilateral vascular malformation of the dura and the sinus system. This congenital lesion was artificially embolised in two sessions by injecting several hundred small steel spheres through the external carotid arteries. Clinical and neuroradiological reexaminations revealed a favourable result in this case. The technique and risks of this method which so far had not been applied in infants are demonstrated.

Therapeutic embolization is now used widely for the treatment, either definitive or preoperative, of vascular lesions within areas supplied by the carotid arteries. Its place in the treatment of arteriovenous fistulas, malformations, and vascular tumors fed largely by the external carotid artery is established, although some of the newer embolic materials have not been fully proven. Balloon catheters appear to represent an important method for treating internal carotidcavernous sinus and similar fistulas. Embolization of cerebral lesions is still practiced on a much smaller scale, and questions as to its efficacy and safety have not been resolved.
