Résumé

A Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses-compliant search of Medline, Embase, and Scopus, 1986 to 2023, for publications reporting post-SRS outcomes in ≥10 Grade III-V AVMs with the median follow-up ≥24 months was performed. Primary end points were AVM obliteration and post-SRS hemorrhage. Secondary end points included dosimetric variables, Spetzler-Martin parameters, and neurological outcome. : In total, 2463 abstracts were screened, 196 manuscripts were reviewed, and 9 met the strict inclusion criteria. The overall sample of 1634 AVMs consisted of 1431 Grade III (88%), 186 Grade IV (11%), and 11 Grade V lesions (1%).

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES OBJECTIVE
Consensus guidelines do not exist to guide the role of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in the management of patients with Spetzler-Martin Grade III-V arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). We sought to establish SRS practice guidelines for Grade III-V AVMs based on a critical systematic review of the published literature.
METHODS METHODS
A Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses-compliant search of Medline, Embase, and Scopus, 1986 to 2023, for publications reporting post-SRS outcomes in ≥10 Grade III-V AVMs with the median follow-up ≥24 months was performed. Primary end points were AVM obliteration and post-SRS hemorrhage. Secondary end points included dosimetric variables, Spetzler-Martin parameters, and neurological outcome.
RESULTS RESULTS
: In total, 2463 abstracts were screened, 196 manuscripts were reviewed, and 9 met the strict inclusion criteria. The overall sample of 1634 AVMs consisted of 1431 Grade III (88%), 186 Grade IV (11%), and 11 Grade V lesions (1%). Total median post-SRS follow-up was 53 months for Grade III and 43 months for Grade IV-V AVMs (ranges, 2-290; 12-262). For Grade III AVMs, the crude obliteration rate was 72%, and among Grade IV-V lesions, the crude obliteration rate was 46%. Post-SRS hemorrhage was observed in 7% of Grade III compared with 17% of Grade IV-V lesions. Major permanent deficits or death from hemorrhage or radiation-induced complications occurred in 86 Grade III (6%) and 22 Grade IV-V AVMs (12%).
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
Most patients with Spetzler-Martin Grade III AVMs have favorable SRS treatment outcomes; however, the obliteration rate for Grade IV-V AVMs is less than 50%. The available studies are heterogenous and lack nuanced, long-term, grade-specific outcomes.
