Aneurysms/Vascular Malformation Treatment

Brain aneurysms and cerebral arteriovenous malformations are conditions that can lead to strokes and hemorrhages.

Brain Aneurysm

This condition is a bulge that forms in the wall of a weakened artery in the brain. This bulge can leak or rupture, causing a stroke. An aneurysm can be life-threatening.

Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM)

This condition is an abnormal connection between the arteries and veins in the brain. An AVM contains arteries that connect directly to veins without first narrowing down into much smaller blood vessels called capillaries. As a result, blood that is under high pressure is allowed to flow through thin-walled veins. This can interfere with normal blood circulation in the brain and can lead to a hemorrhage.
