The safety profile and angioarchitectural changes after acute targeted embolization of ruptured arteriovenous malformations
Journal of neurosurgery
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that acute targeted embolization of angiographic weak points, particularly aneurysms, is technically safe and protective in the early phase of recovery from ruptured bAVMs. Serial follow-up imaging is necessary to monitor the evolution of the nidus after targeted and definitive treatments. Larger prospective studies are needed to validate these findings.
