Endovascular Management of High-Flow Arteriovenous Malformations

This article describes the various methods of endovascular management of high-flow arteriovenous malformations. Concepts of patient management and various therapies for vascular malformations are discussed. Nontraumatic acquired arteriovenous malformations, arteriovenous fistulae, and endovascular treatment of arteriovenous malfromations are described.
