supratentorial AVMs, and to correlate findings with results of preembolization Amytal tests …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Transarterial embolization of cerebral arteriovenous
malformations (AVMs) has been associated with postprocedural neurologic complications in …

In preoperative embolization of cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM), one difficulty

shown to be a predictor of a successful endovascular treatment without neurologic deficits …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Embolization of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) is
commonly used to achieve nidal volume reduction before microsurgical resection or …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Embolization is an important therapeutic technique in
brain arteriovenous malformations; however, little has been reported on the factors …

A modified provocative test to assess the safety of embolization of cerebral and spinal
arteriovenous malformations is described. The modified test uses successive amobarbital …
