Vascular malformation poses a serious risk of disability due to the constant threat of vessel rupture and, consequently, bleeding. Israeli surgeons have been managing this condition for several decades, continuously improving treatment methods. Thus, a modern development – embolization of malformations with biological glue in Israel is applied to avoid the problems that arise with surgical intervention, the use of microcoils, etc.
The diagnosis of the disease is carried out using the technique of superselective angiography – the most accurate method for identifying the location of vascular abnormalities. The accuracy of the procedures is guaranteed by the use of high-quality medical equipment.
Detailed information on how embolization of malformations with biological glue in Israel is performed, as well as patient reviews from Top Ihilov, will provide insights.
Indications for the Procedure
Malformation is a congenital vascular anomaly characterized by improper connections between veins, arteries, and lymphatic vessels. Such pathologies are most often identified at the transitions from veins to veins, as well as from veins to arteries. Vascular malformations of the brain are particularly dangerous based on their location in the body.
The embolization procedure, which involves occluding blood vessels, is performed for the following conditions:
- arteriovenous malformation (AVM) localized in the brain;
- cavernous fistulas of the carotid artery;
- uterine fibroids;
- liver cancer;
- varicocele;
- bleeding;
- visceral aneurysms;
- varicose veins.
Rupture of malformations due to bleeding leads to serious disruptions in the body. For example, if this occurs in the brain, intracranial pressure increases, leading to headaches, dizziness, visual, speech, hearing, and olfactory disturbances, loss of consciousness, and seizures.
The Treatment Procedure – Essence and Process
Embolization is, in essence, the occlusion of blood vessels due to congenital anomalies of their walls, trauma, or sclerotic processes.
During endovascular (neuroendovascular) embolization, vascular surgeons perform manipulations that allow them to isolate areas of vessel occlusion from the general blood flow. These may include surgical interventions, occlusion with Onyx, radiation, and the use of microcoils. Surgical interventions are accompanied by a long recovery period, and the introduction of microcoils, when the neck of the aneurysm is too wide, may lead to its displacement into the bloodstream.
One of the most modern, minimally invasive methods is considered to be the embolization of malformations with biological glue, performed in Israel under local anesthesia and not requiring a long rehabilitation period.
During the procedure, the surgeon makes an incision in the groin area and inserts a catheter into the femoral artery. Next, he fills the vessels with a dye to observe the course of the procedure on a monitor. When the catheter reaches the damaged area, the doctor delivers a special substance – medical glue.
The biological glue Bio Glue consists of albumin protein taken from bull plasma and glutaraldehyde – a denatured alcohol. The peculiarity of these two substances is that they form super-strong bonds when interacting. They also bind with the recipient's proteins. The mesh structure of the molecules not only provides strength but also the elasticity of the new connection.
Next, the doctor takes images to ensure complete closure of the vessels. He uses neuro-navigation systems and electrocorticography. If everything goes well, the catheter is removed. Over time, the aneurysm is sealed. The operation lasts only 30-40 minutes, and in some complex cases – several hours. To alleviate discomfort, the patient is given pain relief medications. The patient stays in the hospital for 2 days.
Before treatment, the patient undergoes diagnostics, the main procedures of which include angiography, ultrasound, and blood tests.
