The condition affects the connection between these blood vessels, and disrupts the flow of blood between them. Although this defect can occur anywhere, AVMs are most common in the brain or spine. It is common for people not to know that they have an arteriovenous malformation for many years â or even until they reach adulthood. You may not know that you have an AVM in your brain until you experience symptoms. A ruptured AVM is a medical emergency. At UPMC, we are committed to finding the best treatment approach for you, maximizing the benefits of surgery while minimizing the risks.
