BACKGROUND: @entity1317 to the extremities may result in severe @entity548 complications. Open surgical repair has been the standard of care for these @entity1 , but endovascular management may be a valuable, less invasive alternative. PURPOSE: To evaluate the safety, efficacy and long-term durability of embolotherapy for the management of @entity548 , @entity1317 in upper and lower limbs. MATERIAL AND METHODS: @entity1 with @entity130 or iatrogenic @entity1317 to the extremities and managed with endovascular embolotherapy in the authors' institution between 1998 and 2010 were included in this retrospective study. Embolization was performed with different embolic materials; technical and long-term clinical outcome was assessed by review of the medical records or by telephone interviews of the referring physicians. RESULTS: Embolization was performed in 31 @entity1 . In six @entity1 the @entity455 was @entity130 , in the remaining 25 @entity1 the lesion was of iatrogenic origin. Angiographic @entity455 identified were: contrast extravasation (n = 19, 61%), @entity2849 (n = 8, 26%), and @entity2849 with @entity2548 (n = 3, 10%). Primary and secondary clinical success was obtained in 84% and 97% of cases, respectively. Procedure-related complications occurred in five @entity1 (16%). Most of them were mild. One @entity1 expired 34 days after the procedure due to @entity281 , @entity295 , and @entity881 . Long-term outcome showed no recurrent @entity548 or other @entity887 . CONCLUSION: Embolotherapy for the management of @entity548 , @entity1317 in upper and lower limbs is relatively safe, very effective without recurrence or other embolization-related symptoms.
