Background and Purpose-Independently assessed data on frequency, severity, and determinants of neurological deficits after endovascular treatment of brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are scarce.Methods-From the prospective Columbia AVM Study Project, 233 consecutive patients with brain AVM receiving I endovascular treatments were analyzed. Neurological impairment was assessed by a neurologist using the Rankin Scale before and after completed endovascular therapy. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to identify demographic, clinical, and morphological predictors of treatment-related neurological deficits. The analysis included the components used in the Spetzler-Martin risk score for AVM surgery (AVM size, venous drainage pattern, and eloquence of AVM location).Results-The 233 patients were treated with 545 endovascular procedures. Mean follow-up time was 9.6 months (SD, 18.1 months). Two hundred patients (86%) experienced no change in neurological status after treatment, and 33 patients (14%) showed treatment-related neurological deficits. Of the latter, 5 (2%) had persistent disabling deficits (Rankin score >2), and 2 (1%) died. Increasing patient age [odds ratio (OR), 1.04; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.01 to 1.08], number of embolizations (OR, 1.41; 95% Cl, 1.16 to 1.70), and absence of a pretreatment neurological deficit (OR, 4.55; 95% CL 1.03 to 20.0) were associated with new neurological deficits. None of the morphological AVM characteristics tested predicted treatment complications.Conclusions-From independent neurological assessment and prospective data collection, our findings suggest a low rate of disabling treatment complications in this center for endovascular brain AVM treatment. Risk predictors for endovascular treatment differ from those for AVM surgery.
