Occlusion of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations by use of vascular plug
Keyword(s):
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations are commonly treated by embolization with coils or balloons to prevent cerebral complications and to raise the oxygenation of the blood. The Amplatzer vascular plug is a new occlusive device made of a self-expanding cylindrical nitinol mesh. It is fast and safe to position, and can be repositioned before final delivery. It is especially suited for embolization of large high-flow vessels as in pulmonary arteriovenous malformations with big feeding arteries. Two cases of successful use of the new device for treatment of large pulmonary arteriovenous malformations are described.
