[Localized arteriovenous malformations of the limbs].
The progress made by noninvasive explorations for the assessment of vascular malformations now enables us to better specify the therapeutic strategies. While a watch-and-wait policy and conservative methods remain the most frequent choice, some venous or arteriovenous malformations must lead to contemplating a palliative or curative therapy. Two therapeutic solutions may thus be used, either embolization through an arterial route or, most often, through direct puncture of the malformation, or exeresis surgery, which is sometimes associated aimed at surgery for tissue reconstruction. These techniques may be used alone, but they most often are associated within the scope of a multidisciplinary management of this condition.
