About AVM (Arteriovenous Malformation) Resection
AVM resection is open brain surgery to remove an arteriovenous malformation, a tangle of abnormal blood vessels, in order to remove the risk of future bleeding. It is chosen when the malformation can be reached and removed safely.
Under general anaesthesia the surgeon opens the skull, uses a microscope to separate the malformation from healthy brain and closes off its feeding arteries before removing it. Embolisation is sometimes done beforehand to reduce blood flow, and a scan or angiogram during or after surgery confirms nothing remains. Radiosurgery is another way of treating AVMs that are small or deep.
Usually a good fit if
- A small, accessible AVM in a safe brain area, where complete removal is likely.
- A ruptured AVM with a high chance of re-bleeding.
- An AVM with features that raise bleeding risk, such as aneurysms on the feeding vessels.
- Younger patients wanting definitive treatment.
May need to wait if
- AVMs deep in critical brain regions, where surgery may cause disability, may be better treated by other methods.
- Large diffuse AVMs for which risk exceeds benefit.
- Severe medical illness making major surgery unsafe.
- Active infection or uncorrected clotting problems.
How to prepare
- Bring MRI and angiogram images on disc, plus reports of any previous bleed or seizure.
- Review blood thinners and anti-epileptic medicines with your doctor, who will instruct any change.
- Expect blood tests, cross-matching and cardiac checks before the long anaesthetic.
- Ask whether embolisation is planned beforehand, as it affects timing and stay.
- Plan to arrive several days early for final imaging and anaesthetic assessment.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- How is my AVM graded, and what is the risk of surgery versus radiosurgery or observation?
- Will you embolise first, and what is the plan if resection is incomplete?
- How will you confirm the AVM is gone, and when?
- What neurological deficits could result given where my AVM lies?
- Do you use intra-operative angiography?
- What imaging and seizure follow-up do I need at home?
Red flags when comparing hospitals
- No multidisciplinary AVM discussion involving surgery, embolisation and radiosurgery.
- No angiography facility to confirm complete removal.
- A guarantee of no risk, or no discussion of alternatives.
- No intensive care or blood pressure control after surgery.
