[Embolization of cerebral arteriovenous malformations].
Embolization is an important therapeutic tool for the treatment of cerebral arteriovenous malformations and is a part of the therapeutic strategy. In selected cases, it may lead to a total and permanent cure per se, but in most cases it will be an adjunctive therapy to radiosurgery. The authors review techniques of embolization, perioperative care, complications and applications of the treatment.
