Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations are abnormal vascular connections between pulmonary arteries and veins, often causing right-to-left shunting. In this report, a 4-year-old boy with low oxygen saturation was diagnosed with a large, complex pulmonary arteriovenous malformation involving four feeding arteries. Percutaneous transcatheter closure was performed using four devices to occlude the major feeding arteries, resulting in increased arterial oxygen saturation from 72 to 98%. This report depicts the successful use of multiple devices for percutaneous closure of a complex pulmonary arteriovenous malformation in a child and highlights the minimally invasive and effective nature of this approach.

Background: Cryptogenic stroke constitutes approximately 40% of ischemic strokes in young adults, imposing a significant socioeconomic burden. However, the source of embolus has been specifically investigated in a few number of studies. In this report, We document the first case of a cryptogenic stroke associated with a pulmonary arteriovenous fistula (PAVF), providing evidence of mural thrombus formation within the PAVF vessel.

Objective: Patients with pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVM) can have significant morbidity and mortality. Surgical resection in isolation or with embolization is reported to treat diffuse-type PAVMs. Herein, we describe outcomes for children and adults for whom PAVMs were managed with elective surgical resection.

A 70-year-old woman was admitted with heart failure and signs of pulmonary hypertension on echocardiogram. Cardiac catheterization demonstrated postcapillary pulmonary hypertension, elevated cardiac output, and O saturation enrichment. Computed tomography revealed a large arteriovenous fistula between the common iliac artery and vein, which was due to a lumbar disc surgery performed several years prior.
