  • Title: Embolization of a congenital arteriovenous malformation arising off the internal mammary artery.
    Author: Majumdar S, Tiwari T, Akinwande O, Ramaswamy RS.
    Journal: Clin Imaging; 2019; 54():12-14. PubMed ID: 30476678.
    Abstract:
    Congenital arteriovenous malformations (AVM) of the internal mammary artery (IMA) are exceptionally rare. Patients with AVMs arising off the left IMA may present with continuous precordial murmurs and/or a pulsatile chest mass. AVMs in this location pose a risk of enlargement, rupture, infection, or high-output cardiac failure. The potential risks associated with AVMs warrant early therapeutic intervention. We describe a case of a congenital AVM originating from the left IMA, which was successfully embolized with n‑butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) using a transcatheter arterial approach.
