P-027 The Role of Interventional Therapy in Head and Neck Arteriovenous Malformations
Bibliographic record
Abstract
<h3>Introduction</h3> Head and neck arteriovenous malformations (H&N AVM) are challenging to treat, and impart clinical and psychosocial morbidity. We evaluated the role of endovascular therapy and its success with varying presentations and characteristics. <h3>Methods</h3> Our retrospective period spanned 1984 to 2013, and included any patients who received neurointerventional treatment. Candidate AVMs involved the scalp, orbit, maxillofacial, and upper neck. All available clinical, surgical, interventional and imaging records were reviewed. <h3>Results</h3> 89 patients with H&N AVMs received endovascular therapy, including 48 small and 41 large lesions. The goals of treatment were identified as curative (n = 30), palliative (n = 34), or presurgical (n = 25). The average number of treatment sessions per patient was 1.5. The goal of treatment was met in 92.1% of cases, and cure was achieved in 42 patients accounting for 58.4% of the total patients for all categories. 28 patients were cured by embolization alone (31.4%) of which 18 were single-hole AVFs. 24 received presurgical embolization (27%) and were cured by subsequent excision. 30 patients reported adequate palliation of their complaints (33.7%). 7 patients suffered transient and 2 permanent endovascular treatment complications. <h3>Conclusion</h3> Interventional treatment can be curative, particularly in small AVMs, with surgical excision as an important option. However, the role of endovascular therapy should not be underestimated in terms of palliation of large lesions, including complex incurable lesions. <h3>Disclosures</h3> A. Dmytriw: None. K. terBrugge: None. T. Krings: None. R. Agid: None.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
