title: Advances in Embolization of bAVMs.
abstract: Brain AVMs are complex malformations, usually congenital, that need a deep understanding of anatomy and pathophysiology to be safely treated. Nowadays, embolization and radiosurgery are carried out more frequently due to their reduced invasiveness as compared to conventional neurosurgery. This paper aims to describe different and new endovascular approaches that allow the interventionalist to treat almost all the small AVMs and to reduce the nidus of the bigger ones in order to facilitate the surgical or radiosurgical intervention.
