Interventional radiology is becoming one of the standard treatments of arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Cyanoacrylate derivatives and polymer solutions are widely used to occlude the AVM nidus by their injection through a catheter, but they are far from satisfactory embolic liquids. For instance, c

Background. Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) of the mandible are relatively rare and potentially life-threatening lesions. Treatment is usually difficult. This study presents a case with high-flow AVM of the mandible in which most of the AVM were occluded by transvenous coil embolization. Methods
## Summary A case of gastric arteriovenous malformation, successfully treated by selective arterial embolization, is described. The advantages of embolization in comparison with surgery are considered.
We report on successful transcatheter therapy of congenital pulmonary arteriovenous malformation resolving persistent cyanosis and obviating the need for surgical pneumonectomy or lobectomy.
