  4. 2. Volume determination and predictive models in the management of cerebral arteriovenous malformations

    Author : Michael Söderman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Cerebral arteriovenous malformation; Radiosurgery; Embolisation; therapeutic; Outcome assessment;

    Abstract : Cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) entail a high cumulative risk of severe neurological symptoms and are usually treated with surgery, radiosurgery, embolisation or combinations thereof. There are well supported models to predict the outcome of radiosurgery, but similar models do not exist for surgery or embolisation. READ MORE
