Hi,

I have a large AVM under my clavicle which expands heavily to the side of my neck. Despite cerebral perufsion problems it is an aesthetical issue for me as well. Therefore I am wondering about a possible resection after all sessions of embolization are over.

Does anybody have experience with the resection of peripheral AVMs after undergoing embolization?

Best regards
