Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) Clinic

The Toronto Brain Vascular Malformation program is run by a collaborative, multidisciplinary team dedicated to the care and study of conditions affecting, or arising from, the blood vessels of the brain. Our clinical group is composed of Neurosurgeons, Interventional Neuroradiologists, Radiation Oncologists and Acute Care Nurse Practitioners. Several members of the group see patients on each visit and all members of the group discuss their cases.
