Emerging Role of Vascular Plug for Endovascular Management of Pulmonary Ateriovenous Malformation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVM) are rare vascular malformation, having direct communication between a pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein, bypassing intervening capillary bed. Traditionally, minimally invasive, endovascular Interventional treatment using coils has been the treatment of choice for PAVM. Our case report highlights emerging role of vascular plug in treating PAVM. Vascular plug have advantage of complete cessation of blood flow to aneurysmal sac along with decreased chances of recurrence or persistence of PAVM.

Pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM) is a rare anomalous direct communication between the pulmonary artery and vein with a considerable risk of serious complications such as cerebral thromboembolism or abscess and pulmonary hemorrhage. Although the past, surgical resection such as lobectomy was mostly used to treat PAVM, the recent development of endovascular treatment has made it a prim...
متن کاملVein of Galen Aneurysmal Malformation in a Neonate: A Case Report
Vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation (VGAM) is a rare congenital malformation, accounting for less than 1% of cerebrovascular abnormalities. The majority of reported cases have been associated with congestive heart failure (CHF) in the neonatal period. Herein, we present a case of VGAM, diagnosed at 37 weeks of gestation during the intrauterine life Case report: A full-term female newborn pre...

A pulmonary artery aneurysm is a common manifestation and the leading cause of mortality in Behçet's disease. We describe a case of spontaneous rupture of a pulmonary artery aneurysm that, due to the inadequacy of medical therapy and the disadvantages of surgery, became the ideal candidate for endovascular management and was successfully performed by using the Amplatzer Vascular Plug 4.

Splenic Artery Aneurysms are commonly detected incidentally and can present acutely as a source of intra-abdominal catastrophe. Management options include both surgical and endovascular repair. The role of endovascular repair in an haemodynamically stable acute rupture is undefined and the use of Amplatzer(®) Vascular Plug has not to our knowledge been reported.

Background: Vein of Galen aneurysm (VGA) is the most common form of symptomatic cerebrovascular malformation in neonates. It develops in a fetus in the first trimester of pregnancy due to unknown reasons, but it is likely to have a genetic etiology. The prognosis of VGA is usually poor, particularly in newborns with heart failure due to high-flow intracerebral shunt. Surgery and endovascular em...
