Abstract
A method of treating scalp arteriovenous fistula may include introducing a micro-vascular plug into an affected blood vessel, positioning the micro-vascular plug at a site of a fistula, and securing the micro-vascular plug to occlude blood flow through the fistula. Such a method may also include conducting contrast-enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging of a brain to evaluate a scalp mass.
