An arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a pathological "tangle" of veins and arteries. It is a "time bomb" in your brain that may rupture at any moment. The larger it is, the higher the risk of rupture. It is therefore advisable to eliminate large and rapidly growing AVMs. Coiling often becomes the first treatment method prescribed for patients. The procedure is safe and minimally traumatic, although it does not always eliminate the AVM completely. Many patients will also require surgery or radiation therapy after coiling.

The essence of coiling for arteriovenous malformations (AVMs)

 

Brain malformations do not have to be physically removed. It is enough to cease the blood supply to the pathological blood vessels. In this case, there will be no high pressure inside the AVM, and therefore rupture of the vascular wall will not occur.

Embolization is an endovascular procedure performed from inside the blood vessels. A small incision in the groin is enough to approach them. Doctors can reach pathological brain vessels through an arterial network and occlude them with various methods. Coil embolization is often carried out, although there are other methods, such as glue.

Endovascular treatment for cerebral AVMs has the following advantages:

  • the procedure is safe;
  • the procedure is minimally traumatic;
  • no rehabilitation is required;
  • no need for prolonged hospitalization;
  • almost no postoperative discomfort.

What will happen if you do not treat a brain malformation?

 

Malformations can be symptomatic or asymptomatic.

If a patient has symptoms, they will not disappear without treatment. Moreover, they will progress as the AVM increases in size. Treatment is therefore always required in such cases.

Asymptomatic malformations up to 2 cm in size are only monitored. However, for patients with larger malformations, treatment is preferable due to the increased risk of rupture. AVMs cause about 10% of subarachnoid hemorrhages and 1% of hemorrhagic strokes. The lifetime risk of rupture reaches 40%, with a 20% risk of death from AVM rupture.

It is better to treat the AVM in a timely manner, before it becomes too large. In this case, successful elimination through endovascular procedures is highly likely, avoiding more traumatic neurosurgical operations.

Who may be a candidate for AVM coiling?

 

The procedure is suitable for almost all patients in whom the malformation has not ruptured. It is especially recommended for epileptogenic AVMs.

Another question is if the endovascular procedure will be the only treatment method or if it will be a preparatory stage for surgery or radiosurgery.

Complete elimination of brain AVMs using endovascular procedures is possible in 30-35% of cases. These are mainly patients with malformations less than 3 cm in size and a small number of supplying arteries. In other cases, cerebral AVMs only decrease in size, or there is a partial restoration of blood supply over the next few months. In these cases, complete elimination of brain AVMs may require surgical resection or CyberKnife treatment.

Surgery is considered the most reliable treatment option. After embolization, AVM resection becomes safer because the AVM with poor blood supply will not cause severe bleeding.

You are welcome to use the Booking Health service to undergo your diagnostics, embolization, and partial resection of AVMs abroad. On our website, you can find out prices for various procedures and choose a medical care program at a favorable cost. Prices for medical services will be lower due to the absence of additional taxes for foreign patients. The Booking Health specialists will help you select the most suitable hospital and take care of organizing your trip.
