Novel classification for simple peripheral arteriovenous malformations based on anatomic localization: Prevalence data from the tertiary referral center in China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In absence of the large-sample study of simple peripheral arteriovenous malfomations (pAVM), we aimed to perform the epidemiological analysis of over 1,000 simple pAVM patients from our center in the past 5 years, and establish a novel classification based on the anatomical localization of the primary lesion.

Results

Between March 27, 2016, and March 31, 2021, Chinese patients who were diagnosed with simple pAVM were taken into account. Those who suffered from simple arteriovenous malformations of the central nervous system (cnsAVM), combined types of AVM, and syndromes, such as CLOVES syndrome, etc. were all excluded from this study. A total of 1,070 simple pAVM patients were screened out. All of the simple pAVM patients were diagnosed by clinical manifestations
