Abstract :
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare vascular
malformations of the lung that usually led to a notable risk of serious
and life-threatening complications. There is considerable debate about
the best management of strategies for the group of patients with diffuse
AVMs. Several therapeutic options have been reported for management of
this abnormality among which coil embolization is currently the
preferred ones. This report describes our experience with the use of
coiling method for treatment of multiple AVMs in an adult
patient.
