Effects of Repeat Bolus Ethanol Injections on Cardiopulmonary Hemodynamic Changes during Embolotherapy of Arteriovenous Malformations of the Extremities

During ethanol embolotherapy of extremity AV malformations, significant hemodynamic changes can arise during a bolus injection of absolute ethanol. Cardiopulmonary hemodynamic profiles should be monitored closely after a bolus injection of more than 0.14 mL/kg of body weight of absolute ethanol.
