What outcome can I expect if I have an arteriovenous malformation (AVM)?

Each person’s AVM is a unique situation. If you’ve had surgery and your AVM has been successfully removed, you’re cured of this condition.

The outcome of other AVM treatments is very good, but there are many variables, including:

  • Location.
  • Size.
  • Type of AVM.
  • Your age and general health.

Your healthcare team can best discuss your AVM and the likely expected outcome.

If you have an arteriovenous malformation and don’t get treatment, there’s a 2.2% chance it will burst.
