Bridging knowledge gaps in brain AVMs: Insights from Dr. Edgar Samaniego on the ARISE ONE Consensus

Brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) represent one of the most challenging conditions in neurosurgery, with their complexity demanding the most advanced treatment approaches. In this illuminating interview, Dr. Edgar Samaniego of the University of Iowa reveals the ambitious goals of the ARISE ONE consensus—an initiative poised to reshape the landscape of AVM treatment. Dr. Samaniego’s discussion highlights the concerted efforts of global experts to identify critical gaps in knowledge and forge a path forward in this intricate field.

As he outlines the integration of cutting-edge imaging technologies, the potential of AI, and the ongoing evolution of endovascular techniques, it becomes clear that the future of AVM treatment lies in a multidisciplinary, collaborative approach. Dr. Samaniego’s insights not only underscore the progress made but also the significant work still required to fully understand and effectively treat these complex lesions. The ARISE ONE project is a testament to the power of collective expertise, promising to drive the field toward new heights of innovation and patient care.
