Brain Arteriovenous Malformations and Arteriovenous Fistulas (PDF)

Featuring contributions from top multidisciplinary experts, Intracranial Arteriovenous Malformations and Arteriovenous Fistulas is a comprehensive compendium on the latest methods for managing AVMs and AVFs. This book encompasses all primary treatment approaches, including microsurgery, endovascular treatment, and radiosurgery.

The book begins with comprehensive coverage of cerebrovascular anatomy susceptible to abnormalities, followed by pathogenesis, physiology, hemodynamics, natural history, clinical presentation, and indications for treatment of AVMs and AVFs. Throughout the book, internationally renowned experts provide clinical pearls and insights based on hand-on surgical expertise, case studies, and evidence-based data.

Important Features:

• The diagnosis and treatment of rare congenital syndromes, including Wyburn-Mason syndrome, Parkes-Weber syndrome, Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome), and Capillary malformation/arteriovenous malformation (CM-AVM) syndrome
• More than 300 high-quality illustrations and videos that explain the impacted cerebrovasculature and treatment methods
• The utilization of preoperative and postoperative imaging for AVMs evaluation and intraoperative imaging for AVMs and AVFs
• The surgical management of lobar AVMs, brain dural arteriovenous fistulas, cerebellar AVMs, basal ganglia, thalamic, and brainstem AVMs
• Complications and controversies surrounding the management of AVMs and AVFs, such as hemorrhaging, inoperable malformations, paediatric cases, residual or recurrent AVMs, epilepsy, and seizures
• Step-by-step tutorials and classification systems for brain AVMs and fistulas, making it an essential guide on cerebrovascular malformations, useful for trainee and experienced neurosurgeons alike.
