Target Recruitment

Inclusion Criteria

Age: > 4 years, < 70 years
-Patients with simple peripheral (=extracranial) arteriovenous malformations according to the ISSVA (International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies) classification. Each patient and the corresponding diagnosis, is discussed in an interdisciplinary board for vascular anomalies before initiation of treatment.
Patients with combined vascular malformations and arteriovenous malformations associated with other anomalies (e. g. Parkes Weber, PTEN hamartoma, HHT) according to the ISSVA (International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies) classification
-Patients with first line therapy or patients with previous alternative therapies in whom the previous treatments did not lead to durable symptom improvement
o Previous surgery or embolization are not an exclusion criterion, but these patients will only be included in case of a therapy-free interval of 12 months
-Adults and children will be similarly included

Exclusion Criteria

Patients with AV malformations located in the central nervous system
- Patients with AV malformations located in abdominal parenchymal organs and the gastrointestinal tract
- Patients with other high-flow vascular anomalies (e. g. vascular tumors) - Patients who have been previously treated by surgery or sclerotherapy/embolization within the last 12 months
- Patients with concomitant life-limiting diseases (such as cancer)
- Patients with acute inflammatory diseases or acute bacterial superinfection of an AVM related ulceration
- Patients with contraindications for invasive treatments
o Patients with contrast agent intolerance or renal insufficiency (GFR>30ml/min)
o Patients with impaired coagulation status:- Platelet count <50.000 / µl
- aPTT > 50s
- INR > 1,5
o Poor general condition with ECOC performance > 1
- Pregnant or breast-feeding women
- Inability to access the AVM lesion due to anatomical or pathoanatomical reason
- Inability of the patient/parents to understand or follow the study protocol e.g. due to impaired mental health status
- Patients/parents who refuse to give informed consent

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Patient-reported health-related Quality of Life in a multimodal therapy concept for AV malformation treatment at 6 months after completion of invasive treatment. In order to investigate the QoL in a standardized way, established questionnaires (SF-36v2, SF-10) will be used.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Therapeutic efficiency and clinical outcome of the selected therapeutic concept for AV malformation treatment at 12, 24, 36 months after completion of invasive treatment:<br>- Physician-reported signs: general appearance (for example swelling, pulsation, ulceration, cardiovascular health issues, bleeding) and location-specific signs (for example extremity length discrepancy, physical impairment)<br>- Radiological assessment
