Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) - What it is

Arteriovenous Malformation(AVM) Condition and Treatments

An arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a congenital lesion which comprises an abnormal collection of blood vessels, where arterial blood flows directly into the draining veins without the normally intervening capillaries. AVMs appear as a "tangle" of blood vessels and most commonly occur in the brain or spinal cord.
