Research Shows Less Invasive “Liquid Biopsy” May Avoid Complications, Improve Treatment Options for Some Children with Arteriovenous Malformation Gene Mutations
SAN DIEGO—A study presented today at the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery’s (SNIS) 20th Annual Meeting indicated that it may be possible to use a less invasive technique to identify the gene mutations responsible for some arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in pediatric patients. AVMs, including vein of Galen malformations, which are usually diagnosed soon after birth, are
