Abstrakt: Introduction: Arteriovenous (AV) malformation of brain causes abundant intraoperative bleedings, because of increased blood flow, which complicates operative treatment. The use of cell saver for intraoperative salvage of blood and recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa) significantly reduces complications during operative treatment.
Case Outline: We present a 29-year old male patient with AV malformation of the 4th degree on Spetzler-Martin scale. Because of the possibility of abundant bleeding, a cell saver (Sequestra 1000 Metronic, USA) was used, and to achieve and control adequate haemostasis, we used rFVIIa.
Conclusion: The use of cell saver for intraoperative blood salvage and rFVIIa proved successful in operative treatment of AV malformation of 4th degree.
