Definition: AVM repair is a procedure to treat abnormal tangles of arteries and veins in the brain that disrupt normal blood flow and oxygen delivery, potentially leading to seizures or bleeding.
Procedure Steps:
• – Detailed imaging (MRI, MRA, or cerebral angiogram) to define the AVM structure.
• – Techniques include Microsurgical Resection, Endovascular Embolization, or Stereotactic Radiosurgery.
• – Monitoring in neuro–ICU for neurological status and bleeding control.
Purpose / Benefits:
• – To eliminate the AVM and reduce the risk of hemorrhagic stroke.
• – To prevent seizures and neurological deterioration.
