title: Surgical treatment of congenital arteriovenous defects.
abstract: Congenital vascular arteriovenous malformations can be treated by surgery in the majority of cases. Contraindications for surgical correction are only slight cases and very few of the severe cases in which amputation is the only possibility of treatment. After illustrating guidelines for surgical strategy, tactics and techniques of operative treatment are discussed. Results obtained in 52 cases are demonstrated.
