An AVM in the brain is an abnormal grouping of blood vessels that connect arteries and veins. This makes it hard for oxygen and blood to flow normally. AVMs can give people headaches, seizures, or bleeding in the brain.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In order to block blood flow through the abnormal vessels, a microcatheter is inserted into the AVM’s feeding arteries and liquid agents, such as Onyx or special medical glue, are injected. This minimally invasive procedure is known as embolization. Embolization is frequently used as part of a combination treatment plan to help shrink or close the AVM, increasing the safety or efficacy of radiosurgery or surgery.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The AVM is precisely targeted without requiring open surgery using intensely concentrated radiation beams, which are frequently delivered by tools like a Gamma Knife or CyberKnife. When surgery is not an option for small or deep AVMs, radiosurgery is frequently used to damage the vessel walls of the AVM, causing them to gradually close off. Gradual obliteration usually happens months to years after treatment.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
