Intracranial hemorrhage following attempted embolization and removal of large arteriovenous malformations.
Two cases of intracranial hemorrhage following staged flow reduction procedures for large arteriovenous malformations are presented. Possible causes of bleeding in these cases are discussed. We suggest that the staged removal of large arteriovenous malformations may not prevent hemorrhagic complications in certain cases.
