Arteriovenous Malformations of the Hand Case Series: Technical Challenges and Significance of Palmar Arch Reconstruction

摘要

BACKGROUND: Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are high-flow congenital vascular anomalies consisting of an abnormal vascular network in which arterial blood flow directly connects to venous drainage. Hand AVMs post a significant challenge given the functional importance of the hand and high recurrence rate of AVMs. This study presents our early experience with treating hand AVMs using complete surgical excision and palmar arch reconstruction.
