Transdural Blood Supply in Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformations: A Systematic Evaluation of Angioarchitecture [INTERVENTIONAL]

CONCLUSIONS: Cerebral AVMs with transdural blood supply represent a rare and heterogeneous subgroup. Lesions can be graded by quantifying the transdural blood supply of the nidus and by capturing hemodynamic characteristics. The broad spread of angiographic features and comparable clinical patterns of patients with or without transdural blood supply raises questions about the relevance of the transdural blood supply to the natural history risk of an AVM and the intention for treatment.
