Treatment and prognosis Treatment options include: trans-catheter coil embolization surgery (historically treated with surgery) Once successfully treated (embolotherapy, surgical resection), prognosis is generally good for an individual lesion.[radiopaedia.org]

As to the etiology of the AVM in this instance, there was a concern prior to hysterectomy for an AVM. Given the eventual diagnosis of arteriovenous fistula, this idea was again examined.[gynecology-obstetrics.imedpub.com]
