Description:
Cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) entail a high cumulative risk of severe neurological symptoms and are usually treated with surgery, radiosurgery, embolisation or combinations thereof. There are well supported models to predict the outcome of radiosurgery, but similar models do not exist for surgery or embolisation. The aim of this work was to improve the models and implement them in the general management of AVM patients, notably those treated by embolisation.
