Medical - Medical (general) / DAVMs - dural arteriovenous malformations
French term or phrase: l'embolisation seule
Dear all

Thank you for any help with this phrase.

This comes in the section regarding success rate of a product used in the embolisation of DAVMs.

Les résultats des études et analyses menées sur des patients porteurs de MAVd sont également favorables: l'embolisation seule par XXX permet une occlusion complete de la MAVd, avec disparition des symptomes dans 60 a 80% des cas.

La plupart des patients traités par XXX, que ce soit pour una MAVc ou pour une MAVd, présentaient un état clinique et neurologique excellent.

Thank you!

neutral  Lionel_M (X): Par chance car embolisation by XXX alone means that "alone" refers to XXX not to embolisation -)))

  -> pas vraiment non, car "embolisation by xxx" devient un groupe nominal, complété par l'adjectif alone, il me semble..
