Different materials are used in operations for embolization of arteriovenous aneurysms on which radical operation cannot be performed. A case is described with successful embolization by means of silicon-tantulum balls of vessels supplying a giant arteriovenous aneurysm. The patient died 6 years after operation from recurrent massive hemorrhage with escape of blood into the ventricles. Morphological examination of the artery revealed neither necrotic or inflammatory changes in its walls at the site of the embolism.
