Clinical and angiographic factors related to the prognosis of XXXX .

@entity1 @entity292 @entity2457
INTRODUCTION: Endovascular occlusion of the @entity292 has been the most widely accepted treatment for @entity2457 ( @entity2457 ). Although the @entity2457 prognosis is generally good, physicians have noted poor recoveries, paradoxical worsening, or recurrences in some cases. In this study, we sought to identify factors that influence the prognoses of @entity2457 @entity1 . METHODS: We enrolled 76 @entity1 diagnosed with @entity2457 by conventional angiography in this study and analyzed their medical records for a mean follow-up period of 20 months. We assessed the clinical and radiological factors associated with poor recovery, paradoxical worsening, and recurrence. RESULTS: The 76 @entity2457 @entity1 (25 @entity1 , 51 @entity1 , ages 24 to 77 years) underwent treatment via transvenous and/or transarterial embolization. Initially, we achieved successful occlusion in 64 @entity1 (84.2%). Of the treated @entity1 , 53 (69.7%) were cured, 14 (18.4%) showed significant improvement, and nine (11.8%) remained static or worsened. Poor recovery was associated with significant residual shunt after embolization and with a late-restrictive @entity2457 type. Among the 64 initially occluded @entity1 , paradoxical worsening was more frequent in @entity1 who had a greater number of draining veins. Recurrence was more prevalent in younger @entity1 . CONCLUSIONS: @entity2457 can have eccentric features, such as lasting symptoms, paradoxical worsening, and recurrence after embolization. Poor recovery was associated with residual shunt and with the late-restrictive type, paradoxical worsening was associated with number of draining veins, and recurrence occurred more often in younger @entity1 .
