Onyx has some advantages and some drawbacks
to its use in AVMs:
Advantages
The major advantage to the use of Onyx compared with cyanoacrylates is the ease of injection. The catheter should be placed in the same wedge situ­ation as for intranidal glue injection. The injection should be very slow, as well. It may be stopped for
d
a few seconds or minutes to wait for precipitation of Onyx in order to avoid refl ux, and then resumed. Control angiography may be performed during Onyx injection for a better understanding of mate­rial progression and of nidus and vein occlusion. Onyx always behaves as a column, and the formation of small drops fl owing into the vein that may be seen when glue is injected too fast normally do not occur. In a brain AVM associated with a high fl ow fi stula passover of Onyx into the venous system might oc­cur. In such a condition, high concentration Onyx (Onyx 34) should be used sometimes necessarily in

association with proximal fl ow reduction, e.g. with adjunct microballoon. The injection may last for several minutes or even tens of minutes. The total amount of Onyx injected at one time in one single pedicle may therefore be much more than with glue. It reduces the number of catheters used and the total number of procedures needed to achieve a complete cure of the AVM. The other major advantage is that because injection is more prolonged and the deci­sion to stop or continue the injection does not have to be made immediately, as it does for g lue injection, the training of young neuroradiologists to perform Onyx injection is much easier than the mastering of glue injection.
Disadvantages
The toxicity of DMSO has been discussed in a few reports (Chaloupka et al. 1994; Sampei et al. 1996; Murayama et al. 1998; Chaloupka et al. 1999). The fi rst paper of Chaloupka and coworkers emphasized the risk of severe vasospasm after injection of 0.8 ml EVOH and DMSO in the swine rete mirabile with subsequent infarction. Injection of 0.5 ml resulted in delayed (7–14 days) subarachnoid hemorrhage with angionecrosis on histology and arterial microaneu­rysms. Two other studies reexamined this toxicity
and concluded that the two major points are contact time with the arterial wall and volume of injection (Murayama et al. 1998; Chaloupka et al. 1999). Finally, it has been proved that injection of 0.3 ml for 40 s produced neither vasospasm nor angionecrosis. The protocol of injection is as follows: Prior to injec­tion the microcatheter is fl ushed with 5 ml normal saline. Then 0.25 ml DMSO is injected over more than 40 s for dead space catheter fi ll ing. Ony x i s then injected slowly (Jahan et al. 2001). Nevertheless, despite the fact that this protocol was used in all the 23 patients treated, histology showed angionecrosis of many vessels in two of four patients operated on 1 day after embolization. Consequently, there is still some question of a likely toxicity of DMSO. One is­sue may be that because of the wedge position of the catheter, there might be a stagnation of DMSO in the pedicle and nidus, with prolonged contact of DMSO with the vessel wall and risk of necrosis.
At the beginning of injection there is frequently a refl ux of Onyx along the tip of the catheter. The in­jection must be stopped and resumed a few seconds or minutes later until a progression within the nidus is observed. As soon as it has precipitated around the tip of the catheter, Onyx tends to open different compartments of the nidus and the injection may be prolonged. This technique carries two risks: the oc-

orrhage a year ago clinically associated with transient speech problems. Preoperative tremendous nidal reduction could be achieved in two sessions using Onyx. After resection of the residual nidus the patient was neurologically intact without any speech problems
clusion of an adjacent normal branch due to refl ux of Onyx in the feeding pedicle; gluing of the tip of the catheter because of a very prolonged injection. Although Onyx is not adhesive, catheter withdrawal may be diffi cult and result in either gluing or break­ing of the catheter, or stretching and rupture of the AVM and artery. Attachment of the catheter is due to physically clutching the microcatheter, if that con­dition occurs it is important to withdraw the cath­eter very slowly under continuous gentle pulling. In the posterior circulation this may result in very low
heart frequency until asystolie. Pushing back the microcatheter will immediately recover heart beat and the manoeuvre should be redone. But in gen­eral, very prolonged injection with serious refl ux more than 1.5 cm along the catheter tip should be unconditionally avoided.
One of the major advantages of Onyx is that a large volume may be introduced in one single cathe­ter injection. However, there is a risk of hemorrhage. The operator may be temped to occlude a very large portion of the nidus in one procedure. Many years

c
ago it was proven that staged embolization aimed at reducing the nidus in several sessions is mandatory to progressively modify the fl ow dynamics. Very sudden and large-scale occlusion of the nidus surely increases the risk of postprocedural hemorrhage, as discussed above.
There are still two situations in which Onyx should not be used today: direct fi stula, in which the Onyx cannot occlude solely a high-fl ow large shunt because it is not adhesive, and a feeding ped­icle “en passage”, in which refl ux on the tip of the
d
catheter is not allowed due to major risk of normal vessel occlusion like in any other liquid embolic material. But if the “en passage-vessel” could be catheterized far enough slowly injection of Onyx might be possible and other compartments of the nidus could be reached from this position. A very important point is that one should be aware of the amount of refl ux. To avoid extensive amount of re­fl ux the concept is to wait and plug the “way back” which can take some minutes but time investment is justifi ed.

3.5.4 Therapeutic Strategy
It is extremely diffi cult to establish a therapeutic algorithm for brain AVM. The indication for treat­ment basically depends on:
Clinical presentation (hemorrhage or not)
Patient age
Natural risk, roughly evaluated by the presence or not of likely risk factors of bleeding (associated aneurysm or false aneurysm, venous stenosis or ectasia)
AVM size, location (superfi cial or deep, eloquent or not) and angioarchitecture (compact or dif­fuse)
The goal of treatment may be:
Defi nitive complete obliteration to protect from hemorrhage
Partially targeted treatment (embolization) to eliminate risk factors of bleeding/rebleeding (feeding artery aneurysms, intranidal aneurysms, false aneurysms)
Partial treatment in case of AVM presenting with worsening neurologic defi cits (although the effi ­cacy of such treatment is yet to be proven)
Partial treatment should not be performed to:
Decrease bleeding risk, because even subtotal therapy does not confer protection from hemor­rhage
Improve seizures, because of treatment-induced risks and unproved effi ciency
The indication for treatment, goal of treatment, and therapeutic strategy should be decided on by an experienced multidisciplinary team in agreement with the patient, who has been precisely informed of natural and therapeutic risks. Multimodality treat­ment is frequently performed – either as a planned maneuver, typically with embolization followed by radiosurgery or surgery, or as an unplanned maneu­ver when one modality fails and a second modality is required for complete obliteration. Goals of the different modalities should be clear at the outset. In our experience, embolization is the fi rst-intention approach in the vast majority of the patients, fol­lowed by either surgery or radiosurgery. Neverthe­less, because of the extreme variability of resources available in any one area of the country or world, as well as very different skills and experience on the part of neurosurgeons and interventional neurora-
diologists, it is impossible to draft any recommen­dations about strategy itself. Because there is almost never a need for brain AVM treatment in emergency (as opposed to aneurysm treatment), patients with brain AVMs should be sent to very specialized and experienced centers that can afford the most up-to­date multimodality therapy.
