Embolization of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations using the Amplatzer vascular plug: successful treatment of 69 consecutive patients

摘要

Objective The technique of embolization of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) with the Amplatzer vascular plug (AVP) has been reported, but no large series has evaluated the effectiveness of this relatively new embolic device. The purpose of this study is to assess the role of AVPs in the treatment of PAVMs.
