I honestly don’t know - if you have a consultant who is treating your AVM they would be the best person to ask.

Hello and Welcome
here is the link below to the grading of the AVMs looks the size of yours is considered small

I always suggest getting your medical records after each visit and each procedure- I find the drs always put way more info in them then what they actually told us.
