Abstract

The study of blood flow in arteriovenous shunting lesions goes back to (1948), who were able to demonstrate a flow velocity elevated by a factor of three from the ICA into the IJV in patients with arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). (1954) defined the “steal phenomenon” associated with clinical findings in AVMs such as seizures or psychic alterations. He concluded that the AVM shunt perfusion works at the expense of cerebral tissue perfusion. Further research by several investigators focused mainly on measurements of regional blood flow (Feindel et al. 1967; Haeggendal et al. 1965; Ingvar and Lassen 1972; Lassen et al. 1963).
