One of the most complex problems of clinical angiology is the treatment of arteriovenous malformations (AVM). The pathology is relatively rare and there is still a lack of knowledge in practitioners. The main problem – elimination the area of derivative circulation – can be solved by means of different operative and minimally invasive procedures which are being chosen according to lesion volume and localization. We present a case of combined treatment of patients with major arteriovenous malformation in the lower leg and pelvis.
