Core Tip

Core Tip: This relatively large study investigates the safety and efficacy of coil-assisted N-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) embolization and compares it with those of covered stent implantation (CSI) when superselective arterial embolization (SAE) is infeasible. SAE and CSI were performed successfully in only 69% and 68% of patients, respectively. In contrast, we achieved much higher technical and clinical success rates for both the NBCA group (100% and 93.3%, respectively) and the CSI group (88.3% and 73.3%, respectively). In addition, the technical and clinical failure rates of the NBCA group were merely 0% and 6.7%, respectively.
