Embolization of arteriovenous malformations of head and neck: A systematic review.
Abstract
Cervicofacial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are a significant source of morbidity. Endovascular embolization has emerged as a promising treatment technique for these lesions. However, current literature on cervicofacial AVM embolization mostly consists of single-agent oriented case series, and to date, no comprehensive study has compared the outcomes of available embolic agents. To investigate the performance of different embolic agents in the management of cervicofacial AVMs. We systematically searched Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid EMBASE, Ovid Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials Scopus, and Web of Science. Studies providing data for the endovascular treatment of cervicofacial AVMs were included. The data regarding complication and cure rates were collected for each embolic agent. Pooled event rates were presented as descriptive statistics. Eleven studies comprising 204 patients were included in the review. The overall complete and partial cure rates were 62.2% (127/204) a nd 36.2% (74/204), respectively. Embolization failed to achieve significant improvement in only 1.6% (3/204) of the patients. The complete cure rates were 87.5% (75-100%) for n-Butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA, glue), 80.5% (61-100%) for Onyx (Medtronic, MN, USA), and 51.5% (18-85%) for ethanol. The overall complication rate was 30% (61/204). The complication rates were 33% (12.5-53%) for ethanol, 14% (0-28%) for Onyx, and 0% for NBCA. Our systematic review supports that endovascular embolization is an effective treatment option for cervicofacial AVMs. In our review, the use of Onyx and NBCA was associated with consistently high complete cure rates and a promising safety profile. However, more research is needed to investigate the use of different embolic agents in the treatment of cervicofacial AVMs.
