Title: Unusual complications after embolization of a pulmonary arteriovenous malformation. Author: Haitjema T, ten Berg JM, Overtoom TT, Ernst JM, Westermann CJ. Journal: Chest; 1996 May; 109(5):1401-4. PubMed ID: 8625700. Abstract: A pulmonary arteriovenous malformation was embolized in a patient with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia.

Pulmonary hypertension was attributed to a coexistent left-to-right shunt caused by a large hepatic arteriovenous malformation.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
