TRANSCATHETER OCCLUSIVE THERAPY OF GENITO-URINARY ABNORMALITIES USING ISOBUTYL 2-CYANOACRYLATE (BUCRYLATE)

Transcatheter occlusive therapy was performed with isobutyl 2-cyanoacrylate (Bucrylate) in 14 patients with a variety of genitourinary abnormalities. Bucrylate was found to be a valuable agent when used to: occlude vessels with very slow flow; occlude vessels in patients with coagulopathies; occlude high flow arteriovenous fistulas; perform superselective vessel occlusion; and produce permanent vessel obliteration. Bucrylate was used effectively in this group of patients and was used without complication or evidence of histotoxicity.
