ABSTRACT
Five patients with large arteriovenous malformations (AVM) of the head and neck, which were too large or inconveniently placed for operation alone, were treated by embolisation after direct puncture; two of them were subsequently operated upon. They all recovered without complications. Embolisation of the nidus and subsequent operation is a good alternative for the treatment of large AVM. Ligating the supplying arteries is not a treatment. If the arterial routes to the nidus have previously been closed by ligatures selective catheterisation is impossible, though direct puncture of the nidus is a possibility. The nidus of the AVM can then be obliterated by embolisation either as a treatment, or as a preoperative procedure.
