Factors That Predict the Bleeding Risk of Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformations Stroke 27:1-6, Pollock,B.E.,et al, 1996 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Arteriovenous malformations(AVMs)have an overall 2%to 4%annual risk of hemorrhage.The purpose of this study was to determine whether specific clinical and radiographic factors predispose AVMs to bleed and to predict the bleeding risk for individual AVM patients.Analysis of a large group of AVM patients who underwent stereotactic radiosurgery demonstrated that small AVMs have an annual hemorrhage risk similar to that of the general AVM population.AVM patients have a wide variability of bleeding risk that can be predicted from their clinical presentation and the angiographic characteristics of the AVM.The management of AVM patients should be based not only on the morbidity of the proposed treatment but also those factors that predispose individual patients to either a low or high hemorrhage risk.
