Intervention for A randomized trial of unruptured brain arteriovenous malformations (ARUBA) — Eligible patients: An evidence-based review

Although intervention is typically indicated for ruptured brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), its role in the management of unruptured AVMs remains unclear [1]. The therapeutic options for patients harboring AVMs include surgical resection, stereotactic radiosurgery, embolization, or any combination of the aforementioned modalities. The decision to pursue intervention is based on many patient and AVM characteristics. Various criteria, including patient age, lesion size and location, and prior history of intracerebral hemorrhage are amongst many relevant attributes [2].
