Adenosine-induced Cardiac Pause for Endovascular Embolization of Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformations: Technical Case Report

Abstract

Adenosine-induced cardiac pause may be a viable method of partial flow arrest in the treatment of cerebral AVMs. Safe, deep, and complete embolization with a permanent agent may increase the likelihood of endovascular therapy's being curative or may further improve the safety of microsurgical resection.
