Summary:Summary Arteriovenous malformations (AVM) are relatively rare lesions, optimally managed in the setting of a vascular anomalies multi-disciplinary team. Their surgical treatment is challenging as these high flow lesions often bleed profusely, and cumulative blood loss can be significant. We report on the successful use of Thunderbeat technology in the excision of a scalp AVM.
