Complete flow control in transvenous embolization of cerebral arteriovenous malformations

In this podcast, JNIS Editor-In-Chief Felipe C. Albuquerque and Adnan Siddiqui discuss a case series that describes complete flow control using concurrent transient rapid ventricular pacing with afferent arterial balloon flow arrest technique as “safe and feasible” for transvenous embolization of select cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVM). Dr Siddiqui (Department of Neurosurgery, University at Buffalo, NY, USA) is the lead author of “Complete flow control using transient concurrent rapid ventricular pacing or intravenous adenosine and afferent arterial balloon occlusion during transvenous embolization of cerebral arteriovenous malformations: case series”, published in the April 2021 issue of JNIS.
