Abstract
Surgical suture endovascular embolization of brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) is an accepted method of preoperative treatment. A major drawback of AVM embolization with surgical sutures is that the sutures are not visible under fluoroscopy. An experimental study using swine is presented where surgical sutures were rendered radiopaque using platinum markers.
