Complications after Gamma Knife Radiosurgery for Brain AVMs: Predictive factors for symptomatic radionecrosis
Complication after GKRS for AVMs were latent period haemorrhage in 5.7% and symptomatic radionecrosis in 6.2%. Age, RIC grade and ≥ 2 endovascular procedures were risk factors for symptomatic radionecrosis. Due to the unclear benefits of endovascular procedures in addition to GRKS and its potential negative effects, the indication for endovascular treatment should be weighed carefully.
