Two-dimensional contrast echocardiography in the detection and follow-up of congenital pulmonary arteriovenous malformations.
Pulmonary arteriovenous (A-V) malformation is frequently a manifestation of Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome (hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia). We identified 14 patients (9 men and 5 women) with A-V malformation by contrast echocardiography; 10 patients with atrial right-to-left shunt served as control subjects. Agitated saline solution (10 ml) was injected through a peripheral vein during echo...

We read with great interest the paper by Dawson et al. (1] on combined treatment of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) by embolization and stereotactic radiosurgery, and we would like to congratulate them for their efforts in the therapeutic approach to these lesions. Although we agree with the concept of using a combined approach, we do not recommend the same technical procedure. As discussed ...

Most patients present with the neurological sequelae of intracranial haemorrhage caused by the AVM (50%), which is a major cause of intracerebral bleeding in younger adults. In 25% patients present with epileptic seizures and in 25% with other sympt...

متن کاملCongenital Diaphragmatic Hernia and Esophageal Atresia: the Importance of Respiratory Follow-up in Congenital Thoracic Malformations
Thoracic congenital malformations may be associated with long-term pulmonary morbidity. Certainly, this is the case for Esophageal Atresia (EA) and Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH). These conditions have variable degrees of impaired development of both the airways and the lung vasculature, with a postnatal impact on lung function and bronchial reactivity. Pulmonary complications themselves...
