Interventional outcomes for patients eligible for entry into the ARUBA clinical trial: a systematic review and meta-analysis

CONCLUSIONS: Intervention for unruptured AVMs affords acceptable outcomes for appropriately selected patients. The risk of hemorrhage following intervention compared favorably to the natural history of unruptured AVMs. The included studies were retrospective and varied in treatment and AVM characteristics, thereby limiting the generalizability of their data. Future studies from prospective registries may clarify patient, nidus, and intervention selection criteria that will refine the challenging management of patients with unruptured AVMs.PMID:34740184 | DOI:10.3171/2021.7.JNS211186
