Peripheral high-flow arteriovenous vascular malformations: a single-center experience.
To assess the long-term outcomes of patients with high-flow arteriovenous malformations (HFAVMs) of the extremities. ⋯ Peripheral HFAVM is a rare and therapeutically challenging condition. Patients with minimal symptoms at presentation do well with conservative treatment, and symptomatic progression is infrequent. Only patients with significant symptomatology should undergo embolization therapy, which invariably requires multiple sessions and must be aimed at eradication of the nidus.
