Arteriovenous malformation of the mandible: embolization and direct injection therapy

J Vasc Interv Radiol. 2001 Sep;12(9):1095-8. doi: 10.1016/s1051-0443(07)61597-8.

Abstract

Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the mandible is a rare entity but one that can be potentially fatal as a result of massive hemorrhage. Traditional treatment involved extensive surgical resection of the mandible. With the advent of improved endovascular techniques, interventional radiology is now the best method to control active hemorrhage and ultimately cure these lesions. The authors describe three cases of successfully treated mandibular AVM by percutaneous and/or endovascular techniques.
