title: Venous and arteriovenous vascular malformations: diagnostic and therapeutic considerations regarding 239 patients observed in the 1978-1991 period.
abstract: The Authors report their experience in the treatment of venous and arteriovenous malformations, which in this paper are divided into two subgroups, pure venous malformations (VMs) and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). A pure surgical indication was evident in less than 50% of cases (48.1%), while more conservative treatments were performed in remaining patients. Considering the particular characteristics of the disease, a complete surgical radicality isn't always possible, so surgery must be considered in selected cases.
