Abstract:BACKGROUND: Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are vascular anomalies characterized by abnormal shunting between arteries and veins. The progression of the AVMs and their hemodynamic and rheological relations are poorly studied, and there is a lack of a feasible experimental model. OBJECTIVE: To establish a model that cause only minimal micro-rheological alterations, compared to other AV models. METHODS: Sixteen female Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into control and AVM groups. End-to-end anastomose… Show more
