N-butyl cyanoacrylate embolotherapy: techniques, complications, and management

Abstract: The purpose of this article is to describe acute complications associated with adhesive cyanoacrylate deposition in the peripheral circulation and their management. Despite best efforts, n-butyl cyanoacrylate glue embolization is inherently unpredictable and complications do occur. An understanding of preparation techniques that minimize adverse event rates and the technical skillset required to manage complications are necessary for the safe and efficient use of liquid embolic agents.

“…A syringe was then used to inject solution into the bioadhesive channel. Cyanoacrylate has been used extensively in surgical procedures for tissue adhesion [ 41 ] and embolization [ 42 ] and specifically has been used to secure synthetic meshes to the abdominal wall during hernia repair. [ 43 ] We therefore utilized a medical grade cyanoacrylate for fixation, and the device was allowed to bond to surrounding tissue for 5 min.…”

“…On the other hand, the use of (NBCA-MS)-based glue compared with coils requires some experience to be delivered in a precise and safe manner. The adverse events described after glue embolization are basically divided in three main categories: inadvertent vascular embolization, suboptimal agent polymerization time, and catheter retention [33] . Both the suboptimal agent polymerization time and the catheter retention are related to the operator's inexperience.…”

“…In situ polymerized polycyanoacrylate is another important hydrophobic polymer that has been used in several biomedical applications, most importantly as a topical tissue adhesive. Illustrating this application, n ‐butyl cyanoacrylate has been used to treat cerebral arteriovenous malformations.as an in situ polymerizing liquid embolic agent …”
