Interventional embolization combined with surgical resection for treatment of extracranial AVM of the head and neck: A monocentric retrospective analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The aim of this study was to demonstrate the efficacy and feasibility of treating patients with extracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVM) of the head and neck with interventional embolization followed by surgical resection.

Methods
