Normal and abnormal blood vessels. In a brain AVM, blood passes directly from arteries to veins via a tangle of abnormal blood vessels. A brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a tangle of abnormal blood vessels connecting arteries and veins in the brain. The arteries are responsible for taking oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the brain. Veins carry the oxygen-depleted blood back to the lungs and heart.
Spinal = having to do with the spine. Arteriovenous = having to do with arteries and veins. Malformation = a congenital (present at birth) deformity. A spinal arteriovenous malformation (spinal AVM) is an abnormal tangle of blood vessels in the spinal cord. The two types of major blood vessels in the body are arteries and veins. Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood to the bodyâs tissues, and veins bring oxygen-depleted blood back to the heart and lungs. Arteries are usually under high pressure, since the blood inside these vessels has recently been pumped forcefully from the heart.
