Generally, blood flows from the heart through large arteries to all the parts of the body, which get branched into smaller capillaries, where the blood exchanges oxygen and nutrients with the body tissues, and picks up waste. The blood then travels back from the capillaries to the heart through veins. But, when a patient is suffering from AVM, there are no capillaries to lead the path. The arteries and veins directly connect to one another, which creates high-pressure shunt or fistula. Direct blood flow from the arteries is not able to be handled by the veins, which is why they stretch and enlarge trying to accept the blood, thus resulting in rupture and bleeding.

Kidney stones may sound as a very small problem, but ask those who actually experience it! Even if for once, the tiny “mm”-sized stones can create hell for the person having them. And, these patients always want the best and quickest treatment. While the most traditional forms of treatment for kidney stones have been medications, shock waves, and surgery, there have been great innovations in the field to make the treatment as effective as possible for patients. Three most innovative treatments and solutions seen today include holium laser technologies, miniaturized surgery, and disposable ureteroscopes. Holium laser technology This is a new innovative technology that uses high-powered laser using a patented technology called Moses to make it easier to remove kidney stones with safer and quicker procedures. With this technology, the stone doesn’t move as much after the laser hits it, which makes it easier for surgeons to break down the stones without damaging the surrou...
