The following clinically relevant categories were reviewed for each patient included in this study: sex, age, AVM size, location, rate of flow, whether the AVM had hemorrhaged, presence of aneurysm, deep venous drainage, and any associated conditions. Patients with the highest urinary EphrinB2 levels were noted to have high-flow lesions and/or had associated aneurysm or other pathology. Patients with urinary levels that fell below the cutoff (<25 pg/µg) had either slow-flow lesions or lesions with deep venous drainage.
