Helen Kim, PhD, a UCSF professor and director of the Center for Cerebrovascular Research, dives into the latest findings from the Multicenter Arteriovenous Malformation Research Study (MARS). She discusses the challenges in managing unruptured brain AVMs, revealing a significantly lower annual hemorrhage risk of about 1.4%, far less than previous estimates. Kim identifies high-risk patients based on age and associated aneurysms, and highlights the importance of this research for guiding treatment decisions and improving patient counseling.
