Implication

Randomized trial assesses complications of embolization before AVM surgery, highlighting significant risks.

Key Points

This study seeks to evaluate the rate of significant complications associated with preoperative embolization in cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs).
Collected demographic, anatomical, and procedural data prospectively.
Analyzed 339 endovascular procedures in 201 patients over 11 years.
Performed univariate statistical analysis to identify predictive variables for poor outcomes.
7.7% of procedures resulted in poor outcomes when analyzed by procedure.
11% of patients experienced death or a permanent neurological deficit due to embolization.
No demographic, anatomical, or procedural variables were predictive of poor outcomes.
