Objective: We have advanced the application of intraoperative neurosonography by combining gray scale sonographic imaging with pulsed wave Doppler and color flow Doppler imaging to guide and confirm resection of arteriovenous malformations of the brain. We want to share our technique with the imaging community.
Methods: We present a review of our scan technique as it has evolved over the 3 years during which we have been assisting our neurosurgical team.
Results And Conclusions: Our experience has indicated that a combination of sonographic imaging and color and spectral Doppler imaging improves surgical resection of such lesions.

Idiopathic pulmonary arteriovenous malformation: a rarity in clinical practice.
J Vasc Bras
January 2025
Universidade Federal da Paraíba - UFPB, Hospital Universitário Lauro Wanderley - HULW, João Pessoa, PB, Brasil.
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVM) are characterized by abnormal pulmonary vessels forming arteriovenous shunts that compromise oxygenation of the blood, causing hypoxemia, and predispose to infections and cerebral ischemia. The patient in this case was a 38-year-old male who presented with tachypnea and dyspnea, cyanosis of extremities, and significant digital clubbing. The patient had structural epilepsy secondary to neurosurgery for a cerebral abscess during childhood.

Factors associated with development of depression in adult patients with brain arteriovenous malformations.

Department of Neurosurgery, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, MD, USA. Electronic address:
Objective: Cerebrovascular diseases are often associated with the development of depression, but few studies have assessed this association with brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs). We aim to explore the association of brain arteriovenous malformation(bAVM) with new onset depression at follow-up.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study on adult bAVMs patients using an institutional bAVM database.
Pulmonary Vascular Interventions.

Endovascular intervention is a safe, effective treatment modality in the management of diverse pulmonary vascular pathologies, including acute or chronic thromboembolic disease, pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (pAVMs), pulmonary artery or bronchial artery hemorrhage, and foreign body retrieval. This article reviews indications, contraindications, techniques, and outcomes in endovascular management of common pulmonary vascular pathologies, with the goal of improving operator familiarity and facility with these procedures.

Spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (sDAVFs) are rather uncommon lesions of the spine. In sDAVFs, which represent the most frequent form of vascular malformations of the spine, operative treatment remains the most common treatment modality. In operative surgery, visualization and pathology detection have a key impact on the results of the neurosurgical treatment of an sDAVF.
