FIG 2. Schematic diagram of a portion of the electrical network AVM model to show the effects of extranidal rerouting of blood pressure after incomplete nidus occlusion with embolic glue (mechanism 2). Panel A: Features of the normal AVM model prior to simulated embolization. Note normal mean pressures in vessels i7 (47 mm Hg), i6 (66 mm Hg), i2 (66 mm Hg), and i1 (47 mm Hg) that form a loop outside the nidus. Panels B to E: Progressive partial occlusion of the nidus with simulated glue (gray) when embolization is achieved via AF2. Note changes in values of mean pressures in the extranidal loop and resulting rupture of nidus vessel i21 (checkered vessel in B and C) and nidus vessel i37 (checkered vessel in D and E)
