Spetzler-Martin grade I and II cerebral arteriovenous malformations: a propensity-score matched analysis of resection and stereotactic radiosurgery in adult patients.

Cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are congenital vascular anomalies that can lead to severe complications, including hemorrhage and neurological deficits. This study compares the outcomes of microsurgical resection and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for SM grade I and II AVMs. Out of a large multicenter registry, we identified 180 matched patients with SM grade I and II AVMs treated with either microsurgical resection or SRS between 2010 and 2023.

Seizure presentation and incidence-associated factors in treated cerebral arteriovenous malformations: a secondary analysis of the MISTA consortium.

Seizures occur in 20-45% of patients with cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and can potentially influence their quality of life. Some studies have suggested risk factors influencing their development, but the evidence is limited to small cohorts. To analyze seizure presentation and factors influencing seizure development in patients with cerebral AVMs using a multi-institutional consortium.

Outcomes of arteriovenous malformation patients with multiple versus single feeders: A multicenter retrospective study with propensity-score matching.

Introduction: The impact of multiple feeding arteries on clinical outcomes of cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) is not well understood. This study aims to compare outcomes between AVMs with multiple versus single feeding arteries.

Patients And Methods: Data from the Multicenter International Study for Treatment of Brain AVMs (MISTA) consortium were analyzed.

Comparative outcomes of arteriovenous malformations treatment in eloquent versus non-eloquent brain: A multicenter study with propensity-score weighting.

Background: Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are complex vascular anomalies with a high risk of hemorrhage and neurological deficits, especially when located in eloquent brain regions. The eloquence of an AVM location is a critical factor in the treatment planning, influencing both the risk of complications and long-term functional outcomes. This study aims to compare outcomes between eloquent and non-eloquent AVMs.
