Transforming Lives with Embolization of AVM
Embolization is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), which are abnormal tangles of blood vessels connecting arteries and veins. This treatment involves inserting a catheter into the blood vessels leading to the AVM and injecting materials to block the abnormal vessels. The primary goal is to reduce blood flow to the AVM, alleviate symptoms, and prevent complications such as bleeding or stroke. Embolization can be used alone or in conjunction with other treatments like surgery or radiosurgery.
