Endovascular treatment of brain arteriovenous malformations ruptured during pregnancy--a report of two cases

Abstract

Acutely ruptured brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are a known etiology of hemorrhagic stroke during pregnancy. The aim of this paper is to report two cases of patients which presented with ruptured AVMs during pregnancy and were successfully treated with endovascular techniques. Peculiar issues related to the application of this treatment strategy in this category of patients will be discussed as well. To the best of our knowledge, this therapeutic approach in cerebral AVMs ruptured during pregnancy has not been described yet.
