Endovascular repair of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat abnormal connections between arteries and veins, commonly caused by trauma or congenital conditions. The procedure involves using catheter-based techniques like embolization (blocking the abnormal vessels) or stenting to correct the malformation and restore normal blood flow.
Endovascular repair is highly effective in reducing the size of AVMs, preventing complications like bleeding or ischemia, and offering a quicker recovery time compared to traditional surgery.
