  • Title: PAVM embolization: an update.
    Author: Trerotola SO, Pyeritz RE.
    Journal: AJR Am J Roentgenol; 2010 Oct; 195(4):837-45. PubMed ID: 20858807.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) are most often associated with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. Untreated, they represent a serious threat due to paradoxical embolization that may manifest as stroke or brain abscess. PAVM treatment is challenging even in the most experienced hands. CONCLUSION: Fortunately, new tools and techniques are emerging that may improve the outcomes associated with embolization and reduce some of the risks associated with treating these high-flow lesions. New trends in overall PAVM management are also developing.
