Summary: This published study focuses on the treatment outcomes of large brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). The study investigates a novel approach of dividing a large brain AVM into different sections and then treating each section separately with radiation. The goal is to apply precise radiation to shrink the AVM gradually over several years, making it safe for surgical removal.

Conclusion: By dividing a large brain AVM into 3 or 4 sections and treating each section with radiation individually, successful shrinkage of the AVM can be achieved. This technique presents an effective treatment paradigm, enabling subsequent surgical removal of the AVM at a safer size.
