Stereotactic Radiosurgery and Its Application to the Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformations: A Review
|
|

Abstract
|
|
|
The author summarize the principles of the stereotactic radiosurgery and the findings of recent studies relating to radiosurgery of cerebral arterovenous malformation(AVM).
Heavy-ion charged particle beams, gamma units, and linear accelerator are applicated with respect to more or less difference in physical properties, technical factors, and economic benefits.
Equally excellent clinical results are obtained for amall AVM. Some superior effects are seen in heavy-ion beams and linear accelerators for larger and irregular AVM. The comlplete obliteration rates in 2-years follow-up angiography are over 70%
in
all
methods. But 3 to 3% of rebleeding risks are still presented during complete obliteration has been attained. Larger lesions and incomplete obliterated AVM may undergo vascular thickening with subsequent protection from recurrent hemorrhage, but
more
technical investigations are needed.
