Objective:
The aim of this paper is to analyse and summarize the main advances in experimental research on cerebral arteriovenous fistulas.
Methods:
A detailed analysis of the literature and my own research experience were employed to outline the methodology whereby experimental cerebral arteriovenous fistulas are created and further studied.
Results:
The analysis and quantification of the anatomical and functional variables in different experimental cerebral arteriovenous fistula models make it possible to develop more appropriate and individual ways of treatment in affected patients.
Conclusion:
Experimental research on cerebral arteriovenous fistulas helps physicians to understand and predict more accurately the future evolution of arteriovenous malformations in humans.
