Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations treated with embolotherapy.
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVM) represent pulmonary vascular anomalies and in majority of cases are congenital in origin. We report a case that presented with predominant complaints of dyspnoea on exertion and cyanosis. Clinical examination revealed a bruit in the left lower interscapular and infrascapular areas which led us to suspect PAVM. The diagnosis was established on the bas...

OBJECTIVE To describe outcomes of transcatheter embolotherapy (TCE) in children with pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs). STUDY DESIGN Chart and imaging review of all children (age </=18 years) treated for PAVMs by TCE at three hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia centers.

متن کاملEthanol Embolotherapy of Pelvic Arteriovenous Malformations: an Initial Experience
OBJECTIVE We retrospectively assessed the results of performing ethanol embolization for pelvis arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). MATERIALS AND METHODS During the past 10 years, eight patients (8 females, age range: 27-52 years) with AVMs in the pelvic wall (n = 3) and uterus (n = 5) underwent staged ethanol embolizations (range: 1-5, mean: 2.5) under general anesthesia. Ethanol embolizatio...
متن کاملInfluence of patient age on angioarchitecture of brain arteriovenous malformations.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The imaging characteristics and modes of presentation of brain AVMs may vary with patient age. Our aim was to determine whether clinical and angioarchitectural features of brain AVMs differ between children and adults. MATERIALS AND METHODS A prospectively collected institutional data base of all patients diagnosed with brain AVMs since 2001 was queried. Demographic, cl...
متن کاملAngioarchitecture and clinical presentation of brain arteriovenous malformations.
The purpose of this study was to correlate the angioarchitecture of brain arteriovenous malformations (AVM) with their clinical presentation. A total of 170 patients with AVM 78 males and 92 females, were studied. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted in order to test the associations between morphological features and clinical presentation. The most frequent clinical presentation...
