ARTERIOVENOUS MALFORMATIONS AND ARTERIOVENOUS FISTULAS
Arteriovenous malformations and arteriovenous fistulas may be congenital or acquired conditions with abnormal shunting of blood often leading to large swellings in various regions of the body or affecting organs within the body causing severe symptoms at times like internal bleeding, cardiac failure etc. These are managed by endovascular techniques. Interventional radiologists study the vascular anatomy and hemodynamics of these lesions and use vascular closure embolization techniques to effective manage these complex conditions.
