Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the treatment outcomes of high-grade arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in a multicenter setting across two Italian hospitals from 2015 to 2019, focusing on those graded IV and V using surgical risk assessment scales.
  • - A total of 20 patients were analyzed, with results showing that 65% had favorable outcomes after surgery, indicating that pre-operative factors like mRS score, age, and bleeding history influenced recovery.
  • - The findings suggest that surgical intervention should be reserved for select patients with severe symptoms or repeated bleeding, and that classification systems can help in making informed decisions about suitable candidates for surgery.
