The management of unruptured brain arteriovenous malformations (ubAVMs) remains controversial despite ARUBA trial (A Randomized Trial of Unruptured Brain Arteriovenous Malformation), a controlled trial that suggested superiority of conservative management over intervention. However, microsurgery occurred in only 14.9% of ARUBA intervention cases, raising concerns about the study's generalizability. Our purpose was to evaluate whether, in a larger ARUBA-eligible ubAVM population, microsurgery produces acceptable outcomes.
