OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to present the role of embolization in the treatment of @entity8 ( @entity359 ) in cases of @entity548 and to prevent @entity548 . METHODS: Over a period of 10 years, 35 AMLs in 34 @entity1 , recruited in two medical centers, were treated with embolization: 16/35 @entity359 were treated urgently to stop @entity548 , and 19/35 @entity359 had preventive embolization. Six @entity1 were completely asymptomatic and 13 had a history of previous @entity1410 or @entity812 . Catheterization was highly selective in all cases (coaxial microcatheter in 19 cases), and for embolization we used nonresorbable microparticles, coils, and @entity167 . RESULTS: When @entity1 presented with @entity548 , embolization was efficient in 80% of cases; another embolization was necessary in two cases, and surgery in two others. In six of these cases, surgery was planned and done at a later date. When treatment was preventive, one embolization was necessary in 17 cases, and two embolizations per case were necessary in the other two. Over a period of 18 months of follow-up, we observed a 28% decrease in @entity5 volume; four @entity1 were treated by surgery at a later date. CONCLUSION: Embolization is the technique of choice to treat a @entity548 @entity359 urgently. When preventive treatment is considered, in symptomatic or asymptomatic @entity359 , embolization can be an alternative for surgery, but more data is needed to specify its proper place in the management of these @entity5 .
