Combined therapy of cerebral arteriovenous malformations: histological differences between a non-adhesive liquid embolic agent and n-butyl 2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA).

Abstract

Onyx promises to be an embolic agent well suitable for subsequent neurosurgical resection. Further studies considering various intervals of time between embolization and resection as well as histopathological and electron microscopical examinations are necessary for evaluation of our first experience with this new embolization agent.
