Abstract

We present a case of successful embolization of an anterior chest wall arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in a 24-year-old male patient. This report aims to highlight the efficacy and safety of using the liquid embolic agent (onyx) as well as the combined approaches (trans-femoral and trans-radial) in managing rare complex chest wall AVMs.

Keywords: Arteriovenous malformations; Case report; Embolization; Onyx; Trans-femoral approach; Trans-radial approach.
