A combined single-stage procedure to treat brain AVM

Complete resection of brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a surgical challenge, mainly due to risk of intraoperative rupture. The objective of this feasibility study was to analyze complete resection rate at 3 months and clinical outcome at 6 months after treatment of brain AVM by combined single-stage embolization and surgical resection. A retrospective observational study from July 2015 to February 2019 was conducted at the Department of Neurosurgery of Strasbourg University Hospital, France. Decision to treat was taken on the basis of history of AVM rupture, symptomatic AVM, or morphologic risk factors for rupture. Complete resection rate was assessed on postoperative cerebral subtraction angiography at 3 months and clinical outcome at 6 months was evaluated on the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). In the 16 patients treated for symptomatic brain AVM, the rate of complete resection was 75%, resection with residual shunt 18.7%, and incomplete resection with residual nidus 6.3%. Good clinical outcome (mRS=0 or 1) was achieved in 81.3% of patients at 6 months. The transfusion rate was 7.1%. There were procedural complications in 12.5% of patients but no intraoperative ruptures. This combined single-stage procedure allows extensive preoperative embolization of the AVM, facilitating surgical microdissection by identifying the dissection plane and perforating arteries and allowing the operator to work in close contact with the nidus without fear of intraoperative rupture.
