Sterotactic Heavy-Charged-Particle Bragg-Peak Radiation for Intracranial Arteriovenous Malformations
NEJM 323:96-101, Steinberg,G.K.,et al, 1990
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Given the natural history of these inaccessible lesions and the high risks of surgery,we conclude that heavy-charged-particle radiation is an effective therapy for symptomatic,surgically inaccessible intracranial arteriovenous malformations.The current procedure has two disadvantages:a prolonged latency period before complete obliteration of the vascular lesion and a small risk of serious neurologic complications.
