Abstract
A tiny magnetic electrode catheter introduced into the human carotid artery has been mechanically and magnetically propelled, with fluoroscopic control, to cranial arteriovenous malformations. Radio-frequency heating of the catheter tip in successive positions occludes abnormal blood vessels.Keywords
