Arteriovenous Malformation Treatment

Facing an AVM (Arteriovenous Malformation) diagnosis can be overwhelming. At Reno CyberKnife, we understand.

That’s why we offer a groundbreaking treatment option: the CyberKnife® system.

This advanced technology delivers precise radiation therapy, minimizing impact on healthy tissue and empowering you to take control of your health.

What is Arteriovenous Malformation? 

Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) is an abnormal tangle of blood vessels connecting arteries and veins, disrupting the normal blood flow. This condition occurs during fetal development and remains undetected until later in life for many individuals. AVMs can vary in size and location within the body, often affecting the brain or spinal cord.

Despite being congenital, symptoms may not manifest until adulthood when the malformation starts impacting surrounding tissues or organs. Understanding an AVM involves recognizing its structural anomaly and potential implications for affected individuals’ health.

Common Risk Factors

Arteriovenous Malformation can develop due to various factors that influence vascular health. Understanding these risk factors can provide insight into the condition’s potential origins and occurrence: 

• Genetic Predisposition: Family history of AVM increases the likelihood of developing the condition. 

• Congenital Factors: AVMs often forms before birth, due to abnormal vascular development. 

• Environmental Influences: Exposure to certain chemicals or toxins may contribute to AVM formation. 

• Trauma: Head or spinal injuries can sometimes trigger the development of AVMs. 

• Unknown Causes: In some cases, the exact cause of an AVM remains unclear despite extensive research. 

The CyberKnife for AVM Treatment

Navigating the complexities of Arteriovenous Malformation presents a formidable challenge for patients, often requiring delicate treatment decisions. Among the greatest challenges faced by those diagnosed with an AVM is finding a treatment option that balances effectiveness with non-invasiveness.

Traditional surgery poses risks of significant trauma and recovery periods, adding to the anxiety of patients already coping with the uncertainty of their condition. 

In contrast, the CyberKnife system emerges as a beacon of hope. Its revolutionary technology delivers pinpoint accuracy in targeting AVMs with high-dose radiation, all while sparing healthy tissues. This non-invasive approach not only reduces the risks associated with conventional surgery but also offers a more comfortable experience for patients. 

Benefits of the CyberKnife

• Dynamic Treatment Adaptability: The real-time tracking capabilities of the CyberKnife system continuously monitor and adjust to your body’s movements during treatment. This dynamic adaptability guarantees that radiation is delivered precisely to the AVM site, optimizing treatment outcomes.
• Minimized Risk, Maximum Comfort: Opting for the CyberKnife technology means choosing a treatment that minimizes the risks associated with invasive surgery. You benefit from reduced discomfort, shorter recovery periods, and the convenience of outpatient treatment options. 
• Tailored Treatment Plans: Each treatment plan with the CyberKnife system is meticulously tailored to your specific AVM characteristics. This personalized approach ensures that you receive the most effective treatment possible, aligned with your individual health needs and goals. 
• Global Recognition and Trust: With a global reputation for excellence in AVM treatment, the CyberKnife system is trusted by medical professionals worldwide. Its track record of success and ongoing advancements in technology make it a leading choice for patients seeking superior care.
