Abstract
In this paper the authors describe the first use of a new liquid embolic ag ent (Onyx) to treat spinal cord arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). Because its properties make it more predictable to use than currently available li quid agents, the authors believe that this material has great potential in the endovascular management of both spinal cord and brain AVMs. This very p romising agent merits further clinical study.
