PurposeTo determine time to occlusion and procedure costs of embolization of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) using a polytetrafluoroethylene-covered microplug compared with embolization using detachable coils. Materials and MethodsIn this prospective study, 37 patients (mean age, 39.1 years [SD ± 17.6]) with 82 PAVMs underwent embolization with microplug or detachable coils between April 2019 and January 2023. Technical success, procedure time intervals, and costs were analyzed. ResultsIn 37 patients, 82 PAVMs and 101 feeding arteries were successfully treated (microplug, 64; microplug + another device, 5; detachable coils alone, 32). Time from embolic device inserted into the catheter to device deployed and time to occlusion differed significantly between microplug and detachable coil cohorts (P < .0001 for both). Embolization with ≥1 microplug had a significantly shorter occlusion time than embolization with detachable coils (median, 10.0 minutes saved per feeding artery) (P < .0001). Compared with detachable coil embolization, microplug embolization saved a median of 9.0 minutes per feeding artery (P < .0001) and reduced room cost by a median of $429 per feeding artery (P < .0001). Device costs per feeding artery did not differ significantly between microplug ($2,790) and detachable coil embolization ($3,147) (P = .87). ConclusionsCompared with coils, microplugs had an equally high technical success rate but significant time to occlusion and room costs savings per feeding artery. Total room cost and device cost together did not differ significantly between microplugs and coils. Microplugs may be considered technically effective and at least cost-neutral for PAVM embolization where clinically appropriate.
