Description
Summary:Despite recent advances in endovascular and radiosurgical treatment, microsurgery remains the modality of choice for the treatment of brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs), with a high radiological cure rate. This presentation will demonstrate strategies for patient selection and timing for surgical treatment, as well as nuances of the microsurgical technique necessary for the adequate treatment of bAVMs. Selection of surgical approaches, extensive subarachnoid dissection, strategies for dealing with bAVMs in eloquent areas, how to handle deep feeding arteries, among other nuances will be demonstrated with case examples and surgical videos.
