          Abstract

          Congenital pulmonary arteriovenous fistulae occur as a result of abnormal blood vessel development in the lungs. Blood takes a short pass from the pulmonary artery to veins. Multiple pulmonary arteriovenous fistulae are a rare occurrence, especially when involving both lungs. Fistulae located at the edge are prone to rupture and bleeding. We discuss a case of a 15‐year‐old overweight male with multiple pulmonary arteriovenous fistulae successfully treated with wedge‐shape excision via video‐assisted thoracoscopic surgery.

            Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations: evaluation with CT of the chest before and after treatment.

            Martine Remy-Jardin, L Wattinne, J Remy … (1992)
            A total of 109 single or multiple pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) were evaluated with computed tomography (CT) of the chest in 40 patients separated into three groups to study the usefulness of CT (a) in the diagnosis and pretherapeutic management of PAVMs by comparison with selective pulmonary angiography of each lung (group 1: 20 patients), (b) in the follow-up of patients who received treatment (group 2: 27 patients), and (c) as an isolated diagnostic procedure in elderly patients (n = 3) or family members with Osler-Weber-Rendu disease (n = 8) (group 3: 11 patients). Follow-up ranged from several weeks to 10 years (mean follow-up, 4 years). In group 1, conventional and dynamic CT enabled identification of 107 PAVMs (98.2%) (vs 65 PAVMs [59.6%] identified with angiography), with confident segmental location in 56 of 65 PAVMs (86%) and reliable analysis of angioarchitecture in 17 PAVMs (26%) (vs 39 PAVMs [60%] analyzed with angiography). In group 2, progressive aneurysmal retraction was associated with successful occlusion. In group 3, CT enabled noninvasive evaluation of patients unable to undergo treatment and detection of PAVMS in family members.

              Pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas.

              D Dines, J Seward, P E BERNATZ (1983)
              Previously reported from our institution has been a series of 63 patients with pulmonary arteriovenous fistula who were seen from Jan. 1, 1952, through Dec. 31, 1972. Subsequently, we have seen 38 additional patients during the 8 1/2-year period from Jan. 1, 1973, through June 1981. The series includes three patients with hereditary telangiectasia who had bilateral pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas removed at two separate thoracotomies. Our report also includes a brief description of five additional patients with acquired systemic artery-to-pulmonary artery fistula who underwent miniballoon occlusion of the fistula. We are including these five cases because we believe this therapeutic catheterization technique may be of particular value in patients with multiple or bilateral pulmonary arteriovenous malformations and may obviate extensive pulmonary resection and repeat thoracotomy. Pulmonary arteriovenous fistula is believed to occur most often in middle-aged women who have associated Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome, but most of our patients did not have hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. Twenty-three (36.5%) of the 63 patients in a previous Mayo Clinic series and 18 (47%) of the 38 in the present series had associated Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome. A logical workup of a patient with pulmonary arteriovenous fistula includes, in sequential fashion based on priority, chest roentgenography and tomography, arterial blood gas measurements, contrast echocardiography with indocyanine green dye, angiography, and measurement of differential pulmonary venous oxygen content.
