Abstract
We report a case where an embolization therapy was successfully performed for diffusely dilated pulmonary vessels in a patient with hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) as a palliative treatment before liver transplantation. To our knowledge, this therapeutic approach has been tried only for arteriovenous malformation type HPS, and not for diffuse dilatation [Chest 91 (1987) 920].
