Brain AVM Embolization

Minimally invasive embolization treatment for arteriovenous malformations in the brain

Overview

Brain AVM embolization is a specialized minimally invasive treatment that reduces abnormal blood flow through arteriovenous malformations in the brain. Using catheter-based techniques, embolic agents are precisely delivered to block abnormal vessel connections, reducing bleeding risk and stabilizing brain circulation. This procedure may be performed as a standalone treatment or as part of a combined strategy with surgery or radiosurgery for optimal outcomes.

Symptoms

  • Diagnosed brain AVM with bleeding risk
  • Seizures from AVM
  • Progressive neurological symptoms
  • Recurrent headaches due to AVM

Causes / Conditions Covered

Congenital arteriovenous malformations requiring intervention to prevent rupture and neurological complications.

Diagnosis

Confirmed through cerebral angiography, MRI, and CT angiography to map AVM anatomy.

Treatment Options

Endovascular catheter-based delivery of embolic agents (glue, particles, or coils) to block abnormal vessels.

Benefits of Treatment

  • Reduced bleeding risk
  • Minimally invasive approach with faster recovery
  • Targeted treatment preserving healthy brain tissue

Recovery / Follow-up Care

Short hospital stay, follow-up imaging studies, and long-term neurovascular monitoring.
