ABSTRACT
Vascular arteriovenous malformations originate during the early stages of embryonic development and generally grow progressively, especially during adolescence and pregnancy. Limb salvage using microsurgery is presented, in a patient with an arteriovenous malformation who was initially a candidate for limb amputation. En bloc resection of the arteriovenous malformation of all segments with extended brachial approach and the cutaneous component was performed, with an anterolateral thigh free flap for the lateral reconstruction of the hand.
