Early experience with the AMPLATZER vascular plug IV for the occlusion of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The recent generation of AMPLATZER Vascular Plug (AVP; ie, the AVP IV) was used for the occlusion of eight pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) in five patients. A treatment was considered successful when there was a reduction or disappearance of the aneurysmal sac. At a mean follow-up of 20.1 months, no recanalization of PAVMs was observed on multidetector computed tomographic angiography. This shows the AVP IV to be safe and effective as an embolic device to occlude PAVMs.

Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations are abnormal direct communications between pulmonary arteries and pulmonary veins. Transcatheter embolotherapy is the preferred treatment method because of its less invasive nature. There are several methods for the treatment of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations, such as detachable occlusion balloon and coil embolization. The Amplatzer Vascular Plug is ...

Pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas (PAVFs) are rare vascular malformations (PAVMs) of the lung that could lead to severe hypoxiemia due to right-to-left intrapulmonary shunts. They may occur as isolated entities or associated with Osler-Rendu-Weber syndrome or hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). We report a case of a 70 years old woman with Rendu-Osler-Weber disease and a large arteriov...

OBJECTIVES Vascular occlusion of hemodialysis arteriovenous access (AVA) using an Amplatzer vascular plug (AVP; St. Jude Medical, St. Paul, MN, USA) is an arising and alternative practice in selected patients; however, few reported cases can be found in the literature. Herein, we report on our experience with endovascular treatment of complicated AVA. MATERIALS AND METHODS From September 2015...
متن کاملDoes the type and size of Amplatzer vascular plug affect the occlusion time of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations?
PURPOSE Occlusion time (OT) is an important factor in the treatment of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) since it can lead to serious complications. The purpose of our study is to calculate the OT of Amplatzer vascular plug (AVP, St Jude Medical), and correlate it to the type of the device used (AVP or AVP 2) and the percent of device oversizing. Technical success rates and complica...
