Ischaemic strokes in patients with pulmonary arteriovenous malformations and hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia: associations with iron deficiency and platelets. [PDF]
BackgroundPulmonary first pass filtration of particles marginally exceeding ∼7 µm (the size of a red blood cell) is used routinely in diagnostics, and allows cellular aggregates forming or entering the circulation in the preceding cardiac cycle to lodge ...

Catheter embolization for pulmonary arteriovenous malformations during chemotherapy for appendiceal adenocarcinoma: A case report of associated brain abscess [PDF]
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations are rare, abnormal, low-resistance vascular structures that connect a pulmonary artery to a vein. They are common in patients with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia; however, acquired malformations can occur in ...

Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations [PDF]
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformation, a condition most commonly associated with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, is an abnormal communication between the pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein without an intervening capillary communication. Although asymptomatic in ~ 50% individuals, it can present with the dreaded complications of stroke or ...

Pulmonary arteriovenous malformation [PDF]
Abstract Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVM) are rare pulmonary vascular anomalies. Although most patients are asymptomatic, PAVMs can cause dyspnoea from right-to-left shunt. Because of paradoxical emboli, various central nervous system complications have been described including stroke and brain abscess.

Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformations [PDF]
Abstract Within the past decade, pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) have evolved from rare curiosities to not uncommon clinical states, with the latest estimates suggesting a prevalence of ∼1 in 2,600. PAVMs provide anatomic right-to-left shunts, allowing systemic venous blood to bypass gas exchange and pulmonary capillary ...
