The management of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) remains challenging because of their unpredictable behaviour and high recurrence rate.This report describes the case of a 37-year-old female with AVM in her left thigh. After twice embolotherapy, the AVM was recognised to be resectable, and intra-operative embolisation was performed to block the blood flow into the nidus of the AVM. The malformation was completely resected with minimal blood loss.Multidisciplinary treatment that integrates surgical therapy with embolotherapy is essential to manage AVMs and to improve the results of treatment, with limited morbidity and no recurrence.
