[Late results of balloon occlusion of the afferent vessels of arteriovenous aneurysms].

The remote results of balloon occlusion of the afferent vessels of widely-spread arteriovenous aneurysms in 50 patients are discussed. The average follow-up period was 4 1/2 years. A favourable result was noted in 21 of 30 patients with epileptic seizures. Recurrent hemorrhages developed in 3 of 36 patients who had one or more intracranial hemorrhages before the operation. Headache was relieved in the patients after the operation.
