Abstract:
Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are characterized by the presence of abnormal connections between feeding arteries and draining veins. It is generally assumed that symptomatic lesions can preferably be treated. Due to high arterial blood flow, there is a risk of bleeding with surgical excision alone, which can be massive and life threatening during the operation. According to recent advances in interventional technique, a hybrid approach using embolization of the feeding artery with subsequent immediate excision of the AVM for successful management of vascular lesions could be applied to AVMs. Herein, we describe a case of successful excision of AVM in the left soleus muscle using a hybrid approach.
