Cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a congenital brain vessels pathology, in which the arterial and venous blood channels are connected by tangles of abnormal blood vessels. It is a dangerous disease that affects brain functioning causing the high risk of intracerebral haemorrhage. One of AVM treatment methods is embolization-the endovascular filling of the AVM vessel bundle with a special embolic agent.

Introduction: The multimodal approach to treatment of arteriovenous malformations yields good results. However, small and deep malformations still pose a big problem for surgeons. Transvenous embolization was designed as an alternative for the cases when endovascular treatment is required and conventional transarterial embolization is not available.

Current theory suggests that simultaneous occlusion of more than 60% of AVM volume induces significant redistribution local blood flow.
