Transarterial Embolization of a Pelvic Arteriovenous Malformation Using Squid-12

We describe a complex congenital pelvic arteriovenous malformation (AVM) with multiple feeding arteries arising from branches sides of the right internal iliac artery and a dominant draining vein in a male patient. Transarterial embolization was performed in a patient with a congenital pelvic AVM, using Squid^® 12 (Balt Extrusion, Montmorency, France) composed of ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) copolymer dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and micronized tantalum powder for radiopacity. The patient showed prompt resolution of the symptoms and complete occlusion of the AVM which was observed on the CT and angiography control exams.
