Case of the week #2 🚨 Treating an AV-Fistula in 25mins 😮

Our approach to treating a high-grade fistula with the so-called balloon-augmented pressure cooker technique.
With a focus on the arterial way to attack the AV shunt with liquid embolics #Onyx, this is probably the fastest and safest way to go with. This minimizes the chances of complications and gives an optimal outcome. As usual, a #radial approach was preferred for the case.

Materials:
Radial-stick with 7F short sheath
·  4F Vertebral guide-catheter
·  7F 079 RIST catheter
·  Scepter Mini balloon-catheter
·  Scepter C balloon-catheter
· DMSO
· Onyx 18
