Abstract
Congenital arteriovenous malformations (AVM) in the maxillofacial region are rare, but potentially life-threatening, vascular lesions. Here we review our experience of 13 patients with AVM of the facial soft tissues who were treated using percutaneous sclerotherapy with fibrin glue combined with OK-432 and bleomycin after embolisation. The mean (range) follow-up was 27 (14-58) months. Three of the lesions were completely controlled, eight were nearly completely controlled, and the other two were partly controlled. Our experience is that percutaneous sclerotherapy of arteriovenous malformations of the face using fibrin glue combined with OK-432 and bleomycin after embolisation is safe and effective.
