Endovascular Treatment of Peripheral Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs): Do Angiographic Outcomes Relate to the Quality of Life?

This study's findings will help clinicians with what to focus on in AVM treatment and how to monitor patients with peripheral AVM after endovascular treatment. Rather than relying too much on the angiographic response, patients should be checked for symptoms and quality of life improvement. No clear data in the literature regarding the applicability of the Yakes Classification in patients with previous treatment. This study questioned the applicability of the Yakes Classification in patients with previous treatments. In this study, type 4 AVMs were more common in patients with previous treatment.
