  • Title: Systemic to pulmonary vascular malformation.
    Author: Pouwels HM, Janevski BK, Penn OC, Sie HT, ten Velde GP.
    Journal: Eur Respir J; 1992 Nov; 5(10):1288-91. PubMed ID: 1486979.
    Abstract:
    A case is reported of life-threatening haemoptysis as a result of an anomalous communication between a bronchial artery and pulmonary vein, demonstrated by angiography. The patient recovered following bilobectomy of the right lower and middle lobes. When a systemic artery is involved in an arteriovenous malformation of the lung, haemodynamics are different compared with those present in malformations fed by the pulmonary artery. This implicates other clinical features, options for surgical intervention and prognosis. In reviewing the literature, a relationship with Rendu-Osler-Weber disease is absent in these specific malformations.
