Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformation Causing Systemic Hypoxemia in Early Infancy
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is not routinely appreciated during the standard echocardiogram to assess for structural abnormalities or pulmonary hypertension. The distal pulmonary AVM is suspected only if an injection of agitated saline is performed and late entry of particles is appreciated in the left heart structures. A large or complex pulmonary AVM can result in significant r...
متن کاملCerebral arteriovenous malformation causing epistaxis.
Epistaxis can be life threatening and may not respond to conventional conservative measures such as packing. In our institution, between 1984 and 1991, we have treated 65 patients with embolization who had epistaxis that did not stop with nasal packing, with a success rate of 90%. This case report illustrates an unusual example of epistaxis due to a right frontal arteriovenous malformation (A V...
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...
متن کاملGiant pulmonary arteriovenous malformation.
A 44-year-old man was admitted with coughing and dyspnea for 3 weeks. Chest radiography and thoracic CT scanning confirmed a huge left lung arteriovenous malformation (Fig. 1). Due to a prohibitively high operative risk, he was investigated with pulmonary angiography in preparation for embolization therapy (Fig. 2). The patient subsequently refused all further therapy. European Journal of Cardi...
متن کاملPulmonary arteriovenous malformation.
A35-year-old white woman with a history of migraine headaches and a grade 2 systolic murmur presented with symptoms of slurred speech, left-sided facial droop, and left hemiparesis after a hysterectomy. These symptoms resolved over several days, and in an effort to identify a potential cardiac source of embolism, a transesophageal echocardiogram was performed. Findings were consistent with a ri...
