The Endovascular Treatment of Brain Arteriovenous Malformations

  • Chapter
Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery

Part of the book series: Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery ((NEUROSURGERY,volume 24))

Abstract

Brain AVMs are angioarchitecturally and hemodynamically complex systems of arteriovenous shunts with specific neurovascular relationships, a variable and unpredictable clinical presentation and a dynamic and only partially understood natural history, associated with a significant morbidity and mortality.
