Yes, in most cases, especially where the symptoms are not extreme for patients. So with lower flow malformations that don't increase in size over time and that are relatively asymptomatic, patients can continue to live with that and not be concerned for progression but may require occasional follow-up to make sure that things don't change and symptoms of the patient don't develop. When a malformation grows in size over a short period of time or there's an element of higher flow blood in with the malformation then there is a more detailed discussion about the risk of bleeding if treatment is not provided.
