  • Title: Endovascular Management of Massive Hemoptysis Secondary to Systemic Collaterals in Previously Treated Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformation.
    Author: Gorsi U, Bansal A, Jugpal TS, Chaluvashetty SB, Sandhu MS.
    Journal: Vasc Endovascular Surg; 2019 Nov; 53(8):674-678. PubMed ID: 31431148.
    Abstract:
    Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) are abnormal connections between pulmonary artery and vein through a thin-walled aneurysmal sac, leading to a right-to-left shunt. These are commonly associated with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, and treatment guidelines have been set on how to approach their management. Incorrect proximal placement of an embolization device can lead to delayed recruitment of systemic collaterals leading to presentation with hemoptysis. We are presenting a case of a 17-year-old male with treated PAVMs and with fresh hemoptysis. In this case report, we attempt to explain the management of such a complication and follow the principles of arteriovenous malformation embolization on the left side.
