Treatment-related deficits in recent series of AVM embolization
| Series | No. of Patients | No. of Sessions | Permanent Disabling Complication Rate (%) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ledezma et al2 | 168 | 295 | 6.5 | Described as clinically significant complication, not specifically described as temporary or permanent |
| Hartmann et al4 | 233 | 545 | 3 | Rate of permanent nondisabling complications not given |
| Haw et al5 | 306 | 513 | 3.9 | Eloquence, presence of fistula or venous glue related to complications |
| Taylor et al8 | 201 | 339 | 11 | Includes disabling and nondisabling permanent complications; no risk factors for poor outcome found; series mostly used particulate embolization rather than liquid embolic agents. |
| Current study | 192 | 489 | 1.6 |
