Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations are rare lesions frequently seen in patients
with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. They can cause a variety of symptoms,
including exercise intolerance, pulmonary hemorrhage, and neurologic events related
to paradoxical embolization. Early on, surgical therapy was the only alternative for
these patients; however, over the past 20 years percutaneous transcatheter embolization
has become the preferred method of a treatment.
