Transcatheter coil embolisation of a pulmonary arteriovenous malformation in a neonate.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVM) are a rare cause of cyanosis in neonates. A large PAVM in a neonate was successfully occluded by transcatheter embolisation. At six months follow up the PAVM was undetectable and no new lesions were found. Transcatheter embolisation should be considered as the primary treatment for a PAVM in a child of any age.

Neonatal pulmonary arteriovenous malformation in hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia.
A 3 week old infant presented with persistent hypoxaemia and was diagnosed with pulmonary arteriovenous malformations. Her family history was positive for hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia. She was treated successfully with coil embolotherapy at the age of 4 months. Transcatheter embolisation may be considered the primary treatment for pulmonary arteriovenous malformations in infancy.
متن کاملEmbolisation of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations: results and follow up in 32 patients.
BACKGROUND Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations may cause a number of complications when left untreated. Embolisation of the feeding vessels is a relatively new approach and information concerning its efficacy and long term results is scarce. METHODS Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations with feeding arteries of > 3 mm were treated by embolisation. Right to left shunt fraction and arterial o...
متن کاملUltra-short echo time magnetic resonance imaging for detection of pulmonary arteriovenous malformation recanalization after coil embolization: a case report and a phantom study
A pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM) is a direct connection between the pulmonary arteries and veins for which metallic coil transcatheter embolization is the standard of care. Detecting recanalization after PAVM treatment is crucial, but direct visualization with computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is generally difficult. Here, we report a case of a recanalized PAV...
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 کاملDirect haemodynamic effects of pulmonary arteriovenous malformation embolisation
BACKGROUND Transcatheter embolisation is widely used to close pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) in patients with hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). Data on the direct cardiovascular haemodynamic changes induced by this treatment are scarce. OBJECTIVES We investigated the direct haemodynamic effects of transcatheter embolisation of PAVMs, using non-invasive finger pressu...
