The progress made by noninvasive exploration for the assessment of vascular malformations now allows the therapeutic strategies to be better established. While observation and conservative methods are most often chosen, some arteriovenous malformations lead to contemplating a palliative or curative treatment. In these cases, embolization currently plays a great role, associated or not to surgery. This embolization obviously can be contemplated only after a collegial decision to treat these malformations has been made, knowing that they may be silent or acquire an uncontrollable evolution potential. The authors present 3 cases of peripheral arteriovenous malformations, treated by an endovascular way, and remind the principles and indications of these embolizations.
