Key Points
- Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKR) is used for the treatment of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs).
- AVMs are vascular malformations characterized by abnormal connections between arteries and veins.
- The therapeutic role and outcomes of GKR for AVMs were evaluated over a period of 5 years in a single center.
- Follow-up evaluations, including medical consultations and radiological assessments, were conducted after GKR.
- GKR has a low rate of complications, with each complication occurring in only one patient out of the 63 patients studied.
- Surgery for AVMs carries a mortality rate of 3.3% and morbidity rate of 8.6%.
- Advances in radiosurgery for AVMs have been made since the late 1980s.
- The ARUBA trial investigated the effectiveness of medical management with or without interventional therapy for unruptured AVMs.

Patients underwent follow-up evaluations at specific time points after Gamma Knife Radiosurgery (GKR), including medical consultations and radiological assessments. The gold standard for confirming complete arteriovenous malformation (AVM) obliteration was cerebral DSA,
The study evaluated the obliteration rates of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) treated with Gamma Knife radiosurgery. The overall obliteration rates at various time points were presented. The study found that for a Pollock-Flickinger score
Gamma Knife Radiosurgery (GKR) for arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) has a low rate of complications, with each complication occurring in only one patient out of the 63 patients studied. Complications included ischaemic
Surgery for arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) carries a mortality rate of 3.3% and morbidity rate of 8.6%. Endovascular treatment has become more common, with a fatality rate of
Gamma Knife radiosurgery is a safe and effective treatment for arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in the brain. Case illustrations demonstrate successful obliteration of AVMs and disappearance of seizures following treatment. The overall obliteration rate by surgery
Advances in radiosurgery for arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) of the brain have been made since the late 1980s. Intracranial hemorrhage is a common morbidity associated with AVMs. The need
Gamma Knife radiosurgery is a treatment option for arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in the brain. The ARUBA trial, a randomized trial, investigated the effectiveness of medical management with or without interventional therapy for unruptured
