[Embolization of cerebral arteriovenous malformations--methods and clinical results].

Interventional treatment by neuroradiological embolisation of cerebral arteriovenous angiomas has become an alternative to surgical exstirpation especially in problematic localisations and large-size malformations. Clinical results showing a marked reduction in attacks and recurrent haemorrhages, evident from a three-year report on 17 patients, confirm the value of the method even in case of only subtotal occlusion of the malformation.
