A single-institution study of predisposing factors of patients with BAVMs to flow-related aneurysm

The goal of this study was to assess the potential risk factors leading to flow-related aneurysm (FA) formation in patients with brain arteriovenous malformations (BAVMs) in Taiwanese. We recruited 890 patients with BAVMs: 72 had FA(s) and 818 did not. Several factors were assessed including patient...

Zusammenfassung:The goal of this study was to assess the potential risk factors leading to flow-related aneurysm (FA) formation in patients with brain arteriovenous malformations (BAVMs) in Taiwanese. We recruited 890 patients with BAVMs: 72 had FA(s) and 818 did not. Several factors were assessed including patient's age, gender, BAVM volume and location, and Spetzler-Martin grade. The 890 patients with BAVM had a mean age of 30 years (range: 2–84), mean BAVM volume of 10.6 mL (range: 0.13–91.4). BAVMs were ruptured in 42% of patients. Compared to BAVM patients without FAs, the 72 patients with FAs had older age (mean 41 yrs vs 31 yrs, p
