Background: Radiosurgery is an effective, alternative treatment modality in managing patients with cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). The present study aims to highlight the scholarly impact of the top-100 most cited articles on the radiosurgical management of AVMs. Methods: A title-specific search using the keyword “arteriovenous malformation” was conducted in the Scopus database. The outcome of the search was rearranged based on the citations count. Articles were categorized into four entities; clinical, gamma knife radiosurgery, linear accelerator (LINAC) radiosurgery, and proton beam radiosurgery. The exclusion criteria were applied to spinal or non-intracranial AVM, conference papers, non-English articles predominantly discussing the endovascular or microsurgical management. Results: The top-100 articles on the radiosurgical management of AVM were published between 1972 and 2016. Approximately one-third of the publications were produced between 1995 and 2000. The average citations per year for all papers were seven. The most-studied entity was pertinent to the clinical application of gamma knife radiosurgery in AVM (68%). The United States was the most active country in studying the radiosurgical application in AVM. The Journal of Neurosurgery published approximately one-third of the most-cited articles in the list. The top-3 most contributing authors, publishing 80% of articles in the list, were Lunsford et al. Conclusion: The radiosurgical management of AVMs evolved significantly throughout the years. Identifications of the publication trends facilitate the acquisition of evidence-based articles for authors investigating various radiosurgical techniques in the treatment of AVMs.

This study estimated the risk and rates of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in patients harboring brain arteriovenous malformation (BAVM) after endovascular embolization. One hundred and forty-four consecutive patients with BAVM treated with endovascular embolization between 1998 and 2003 were retrospectively reviewed. The risk of ICH subsequent to endovascular embolization was studied using Kaplan-Meier curves. We reviewed 144 patients with BAVM treated with endovascular embolization. Two hundred and sixty-nine procedures were performed, 69 were performed with silk sutures, 18 with coils, 137 with NBCA and 36 with Onyx18. Twenty-three (16.0%) patients were treated with additional gamma-knife radiosurgery and one (0.7%) with additional surgical AVM excision. Complete obliteration of BAVMs was achieved in 20 patients (13.9%). During a mean follow-up of 5.9 years for the ICH group and 6.9 years for the non-ICH group, hemorrhages occurred in 11 (17.7%) of the ICH patients and in nine (11%) of the non-ICH group (p>0.1). The annual risk of hemorrhage was 3.0% and 1.6%, respectively. In the multivariate regression model, the adjusted relative risk (RR) for hemorrhage at initial presentation was 1.6 (95% CI 1.2–3.2; p>0.1). Deep venous drainage, male sex, age or AVM size were not significantly associated with subsequent hemorrhage. ICH and non-ICH groups did not differ in progression to subsequent ICH after endovascular embolization (log-rank X2 = 1.339, p>0.1) in survival analyses. The overall annual hemorrhage risk for all patients after endovascular embolization was 2.1%. Endovascular embolization alone or combined with gamma-knife radiosurgery or surgical treatment are able to decrease ICH occurrence compared to abstention.
