The use of 'yet'

I am a bit confused over the use of yet in the following sentence.

No randomized, controlled clinical trial has established a survival benefit for treating patients (either with open surgery or radiosurgery) with yet non-bleeding AVMs.

Is the sentence grammatically correct? Any help would be appreciated.

That usage is very unusual, but I hesitate to call it incorrect. I would not use it.

Strange: with yet non-bleeding AVMs.

Less strange: with AVMs that are not yet bleeding. Or even better: with AVMs that are not bleeding yet.
