Vascular Malformations Clinic
Vascular Malformations Clinic
Stanford Health Care is at the forefront of treating intracranial and spinal malformations. For more than 30 years, thousands of pediatric and adult patients with vascular malformations have been treated here.
Our Doctors
Care and Treatment of Vascular Malformations
Treatments for Arteriovenous Malformation
Stanford Health Care has numerous options available for treating even the largest, most difficult AVMs, including:
Embolization
Special microcathethers are guided into the arteriovenous malformation to obstruct its abnormal blood vessels.
Stereotactic computer-assisted microsurgery
This type of surgery is done with a microscope and image-guided navigation to minimize any impact on surrounding brain tissue.
Stereotactic radiosurgery with CyberKnife
A painless, noninvasive technology that offers delivery of high dose X-rays, focused precisely on a targeted region to treat tumors, brain and spine conditions, and cancers.
Treatments for cavernous malformation
Treatment for cavernous malformations has dramatically improved in the last decade. New computer-guided navigation developed at Stanford allows neurosurgeons to reach even the deepest parts of the brain to remove these lesions with relatively low risk.
CO2 Laser surgery
A special CO2 laser is often used during the surgical procedure and offers excellent precision for removing cavernous malformations safely.

For your convenience, you may check in for all same-day appointments at the Stanford Neuroscience Health Center through a centralized, check-in desk near the front lobby. In addition to all outpatient services, you also can access onsite pre-surgery consultations at the center.
