Arteriovenous Malformations
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Start by understanding why they are monitored: arteriovenous malformations are abnormal connections between arteries and veins that bypass the normal passage through the capillaries, which alters blood flow in the affected area. They may be present from birth and appear in different parts of the body.
How they can show up: it depends on their location; some cause no symptoms and are discovered by chance, while others produce discomfort depending on the organ involved.
When to consult? In the face of persistent symptoms or a finding on a study, an evaluation is worthwhile to define the follow-up.
Which specialists treat them? The angiologist, the vascular surgeon, and the cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon evaluate arteriovenous malformations according to their location. If you have been told about a finding of this kind, discussing it with one of these professionals will clarify the steps to follow.
