Embolisation of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations: no consistent effect on pulmonary artery pressure.
Increasing evidence supports the use of embolisation to treat pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). Most pulmonary AVM patients have hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), a condition that may be associated with pulmonary hypertension. The current authors tested whether pulmonary AVM embolisation increases pulmonary artery pressure (P(pa)) in patients without baseline severe pulm...
متن کاملEmbolisation therapy for pulmonary arteriovenous malformations.
BACKGROUND Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations are abnormal direct connections between the pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein which result in a right-to-left shunt. They are associated with substantial morbidity and mortality mainly from the effects of paradoxical emboli. Potential complications include stroke, cerebral abscess, pulmonary haemorrhage and hypoxaemia. Embolisation therapy is a...
متن کاملPulmonary Arteriovenous Malformations and Coronary Artery Fistulas
P ulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) and coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) are infrequent clinical problems but can potentially cause significant morbidity and mortality. They are usually congenital, but acquired forms do occur. Treatment of these vascular abnormalities has evolved considerably during the last 2 decades. Percutaneous transcatheter closure of PAVMs and CAFs is now consid...

متن کاملPulmonary Arteriovenous Malformations
HKJGOM 2011; 11 (1) 67 Introduction Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) are rare vascular disorders known to produce life-threatening complications, including haemoptysis, intrapleural haemorrhage, stroke, brain abscess, and hypoxaemia. Since its first description by Churton in 18971, more than 500 cases have been reported in the literature2. Pregnancy and PAVM are strongly linked wit...
