We present two cases of acquired uterine arterial venous malformation (AVM) which was diagnosed because of massive genital bleeding successfully treated with transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE), using N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) under balloon occlusion. Balloon occlusion at the uterine artery was performed in both patients for diffuse distribution of NBCA in multiple feeding branches, ...

Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the scalp is a rare lesion whose natural history remains to be elucidated. The report describes a case of a patient with a history of minor head trauma who presented with spontaneous bleeding from the scalp due to a relatively small scalp AVM. Several imaging modalities were used to establish the diagnosis, map the vascular malformation, and plan management. ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We sought to assess the relative risk of hemorrhagic presentation of brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) located in the arterial borderzone territories. METHODS The 464 consecutive, prospectively enrolled patients from the New York AVM Databank were analyzed. AVM borderzone location was coded positive when the malformation was supplied by branches of at least 2 of ...

Background: Brain Arteriovenous Malformation (BAVM) was induced by the congenital development abnormality of partial vascular anomaly differentiation. Better prognostic factors should be developed by our researchers. Objective: To analyse the clinical and follow-up materials about Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) treated by endovascular embolization combined with radiosurgery (Gamma Knife Surge...

BACKGROUND Late adverse radiation effects (ARE) typically occur many years after stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) of intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVM). They are characterized by perilesional edema or cyst formation and are distinct from radiation-induced changes (RIC) noted in the first 1 to 2 years after AVM SRS and radiation necrosis. OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence of late...

Uterine arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is rare but it can cause life-threatening genital bleeding. Conservative therapy with GnRHa can be a useful option for treating a uterine AVM presenting with a congenital heart disease shunt in hemodynamically stable patients.

Nasal arterio-venous malformations (AVM) are uncommon lesions. We present a rare case of huge, long standing AVM in the nasal area which was treated by angioembolization, followed by surgical excision and forehead flap reconstruction.

Vascular malformations in extremities are difficult to detect in cases of minor trauma. The authors report a case of an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) incidentally found by ultrasonography in a contusion. After a slip down, a 52-year-old man who had undergone total arthroplasty in both hips 10 years earlier complained of an ovoid right hip swelling that had gradually increased in size. Suspec...

Hypertensive patients presenting at the extremes of age may have a secondary cause of hypertension. Congenital arteriovenous malformation (AVM) and acquired arteriovenous fistula (AVF) are rare causes of secondary hypertension w1–10x. Acquired AVFs tend to be single linear connecting vessels and comprise 70–80% of renal arteriovenous abnormalities and usually result from trauma, biopsy, surgery...
