Thanks, SavantMD.com for helping to let others with an AVM know that they are not alone. An AVM bleed can be very scary and the road to recovery can be long, but there is a community of people who have been there and are here to help you get through this.

Thanks dr,
There are few doctors in the world who are concerned with the AVM and affected many of us are desperate because they do not know where to visit. All work are made are grateful to help our community. In Spain we only have a medical staff that regularly meets ISSVA and cares about the AVM. We are lucky that today internet is a great tool to help.
Right on! Thanks for your generosity Dr. Savant.
Thanks for the post! It’s such a great way to spread awareness and I sincerely appreciate it. AVM’s are rare, and even many docs that “know” about them aren’t comfortable or capable of treating them. It’s wonderful to get the word out and to help patients find resources to do the best research to help them personally manage and take ownership of their own health decisions!
I’m going to have to add the link to my fb page and my personal AVM story site! This is great.

Thank you,
