About AVM Embolisation
AVM embolisation is a catheter-based procedure that blocks blood flow into a brain arteriovenous malformation, a tangle of abnormal vessels. It is used to shrink the malformation before other treatment or, occasionally, to treat it.
A thin catheter is passed through an artery, usually at the groin or wrist, and guided into the vessels feeding the malformation under X-ray. A liquid embolic agent, such as a glue-like material or a polymer, is injected to block those vessels. Treatment is often staged over several sessions and is commonly combined with surgery or radiosurgery rather than used alone.
Usually a good fit if
- An AVM with a feeding artery pattern suitable for catheter access.
- Pre-treatment to shrink the malformation before surgery or radiosurgery.
- An AVM linked with aneurysms on its feeding vessels that need protecting.
- Selected small AVMs treated for curative closure.
May need to wait if
- A malformation too diffuse or with unsafe vessels to reach.
- Allergy to contrast dye that has not been prepared for.
- Kidney impairment requiring special planning.
- An untreated bleeding disorder or active infection.
How to prepare
- Bring all MRI and angiogram images on disc, plus reports of any previous bleed or seizure.
- Review blood thinners, aspirin and anti-epileptic medicines with your doctor, who will advise on any changes.
- Tell the team about contrast dye or iodine allergy and about kidney problems.
- Expect blood tests and a clotting profile before the procedure.
- Ask if more than one session is planned, so you can plan travel and stay.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- Is embolisation meant to cure my AVM or to prepare it for surgery or radiosurgery?
- How many sessions do you expect, and what is the risk at each?
- Which embolic agent will you use, and what are its specific risks?
- Which area of the brain does my AVM involve, and what could be affected?
- How will you check progress, and when is the next angiogram?
- What is the plan if the malformation is only partly closed?
Red flags when comparing hospitals
- No team decision involving a neurosurgeon, interventional neuroradiologist and radiosurgery expert.
- Promise of cure from embolisation without a clear angiogram review.
- No stand-by neurosurgical service if bleeding occurs.
- Treating without a recent detailed angiogram.
