Endovascular occlusion of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations with the ArtVentive Endoluminal Occlusion System™.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) are vascular anomalies of the lung and carry the risk of cerebral thromboembolism, brain abscess, or pulmonary hemorrhage. We describe a 64-year-old male with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome) who presented with a five-year history of progressive effort dyspnea and a PAVM in the right upper lobe successfully treated by transcatheter embolization of feeding arteries using a new occlusion device, the ArtVentive Endoluminal Occlusion System™.

Coil Migration to Pulmonary Vasculature: Case Report and Review
Coil embolization is a minimally invasive and safe procedure for endovascular occlusion. It is widely employed for occlusion of AVF and Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs). It is frequently used to salvage non-maturing AVF created for Hemodialysis (HD) access by embolizing accessory veins, which is one of the most common causes of early maturation failure of AVF. Although rare, distal migration ...

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 ...
متن کاملTransarterial occlusion of solitary intracerebral arteriovenous fistulas.
Congenital solitary arteriovenous fistulas unassociated with arteriovenous malformations are rare. Five patients with this condition were treated by endovascular procedures: three by transarterial balloon occlusion and two by coil and silk suture embolization. Of the three patients treated by balloon occlusion, complete angiographic obliteration was achieved in two, and one patient had subtotal...
متن کاملEndovascular management of arteriovenous malformations
Management of arteriovenous malformations (AVM’s) is a complex process that frequently requires a multidisciplinary approach in addition to multiple sessions and treatment techniques. Today endovascular occlusion is frequently the first management option to facilitate surgical intervention. However, in a small percentage of cases it can also be curative. Here, we will shed some light on the dif...
متن کاملPulmonary arteriovenous malformation.
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVM) are rare pulmonary vascular anomalies. Although most patients are asymptomatic, PAVMs can cause dyspnoea from right-to-left shunt. Because of paradoxical emboli, various central nervous system complications have been described including stroke and brain abscess. There is a strong association between PAVM and hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia. Ch...
