Hello... my brother was diagnosed with an AVM and had his second procedure on Thursday. They said the procedure was successful however he is currently still in the hospital with complications that will require him go to physical and speech therapy. He has slurred and slow speech along with limited mobility in his right hand.

Does anyone know if this is expected and temporary and can be treated with therapy? He lives out of state and we are worried about him, I will be going there tomorrow to be with him but wanted to see if anyone has any additional insight or advice?

Thanks

So sorry to hear about your brothers complications. What type of procedure did he have done?

Thanks @stellgma! I am not sure of the medical terms but he had the procedure that involved the medical glue to stop blood flow to the AVM.
