Abstract
The endovascular management of brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) is a part of the therapeutic AVM strategy. In selected cases, endovascular the rapy may lead to a total and permanent cure, but in most cases it will be a n adjunctive therapy to microsurgery or radiosurgery. Emoblization of brain AVMs is still a technical challenge that requires experience and skill on the part of the physician and requires a further improvement of tools, but it has made brain AVMs curable.
