Stereotactic radiosurgery of intracranial arteriovenous malformations.
Stereotactic radiosurgery for intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) has been performed since the 1970s. When an AVM is treated with radiosurgery, radiation injury to the vascular endothelium induces the proliferation of smooth muscle cells and the elaboration of extracellular collagen, which leads to progressive stenosis and obliteration of the AVM nidus. Obliteration after AVM radios...
متن کاملRadiosurgery for patients with unruptured intracranial arteriovenous malformations.
OBJECT The appropriate management of unruptured intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) remains controversial. In the present study, the authors evaluate the radiographic and clinical outcomes of radiosurgery for a large cohort of patients with unruptured AVMs. METHODS From a prospective database of 1204 cases of AVMs involving patients treated with radiosurgery at their institution, ...
متن کاملStereotaxic angiography in gamma knife radiosurgery of intracranial arteriovenous malformations.
Gamma knife radiosurgery is an effective alternative to embolization or microsurgical removal of small arteriovenous malformations, particularly in eloquent areas of brain tissue. Stereotaxic angiography is a useful diagnostic and targeting adjunct to gamma knife radiosurgery, and the authors present their experience (1,100 patients) with methods and technique, and show how the nidus of the art...
متن کاملGamma Knife Radiosurgery for Brain Vascular Malformations - ReadingSample
In this report, our experiences with 181 consecutive patients who underwent Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) for arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) during an approximately quarter century period from 1978 to 2002 will be summarized along with much of what we have learned from a wealth of already published data. During the mean postGKRS followup period of 10.2 years (range, 5.4– 30.6), 15 (8.3%) ...
متن کاملRadiosurgery for cavernous malformations.
The role of radiosurgery for cavernous malformations of the brain remains to be fully defined. We have used Gamma Knife radiosurgery for selected patients with symptomatic, hemorrhagic malformations in high-risk brain locations. Indications, techniques, and results are presented.
