    Author: Chikamatsu E, Nagashima T, Mizukami Y, Ikuta K, Sakurai T.
    Journal: J Cardiovasc Surg (Torino); 2001 Feb; 42(1):115-8. PubMed ID: 11292918.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Congenital arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) of the pelvis are relatively rare and are difficult to treat because of diffuse extension and the number of feeding vessels. METHODS: We describe a patient with a pelvic AVM with shunts who also developed iliac vein thrombosis. The AVM was diagnosed during evaluation of what had initially appeared to be a venous stasis ulcer. RESULTS: The ulcer was successfully treated by Palma s procedure, partial resection of the feeding vessels, and transcatheter arterial embolization. CONCLUSIONS: Coexistence of a pelvic AVM with an iliac vein thrombosis has not previously been reported.
