Arteriovenous malformations are groups of abnormal vessels which may occur within
the brain and other parts of the body.
Arteries are the vessels that supply oxygen-rich blood to the brain and all other
organs in the body. There are four major arteries that supply blood to the brain,
the two carotid arteries in the front of the neck and the two vertebral arteries
in the back of the neck. Blood is pumped from the heart to the brain through
these four major arteries at a relatively high pressure. As the blood flow reaches
the smaller vessels within the brain, called capillaries, it exchanges the oxygen and
nutrients for carbon dioxide and other waste products, and then returns to the
heart and lungs at a much lower level of pressure. Because of this lower pressure,
veins have characteristically thinner walls and are much more delicate than arteries.

This proprietary and patented design allows a more complete and targeted occlusion of the blood vessels feeding a hypervascularized tumor or arteriovenous malformation. Furthermore, the hydrophilic surface and spherical shape prevent aggregation within the catheter lumen and in the vasculature, promoting ease and accuracy of delivery. Finally, the elastic properties of the microspheres also allow the temporary deformation of the sphere, which facilitates the passage through small delivery systems.
