Abstract:
The authors report one case of Rendu-Osler disease in a 59-year-old woman presenting with pulmonary and hepatic arteriovenous malformations. She suffered from high-output heart failure due to a left-to-right intrahepatic shunt. Diagnosis and treatment by coil embolization of pulmonary and hepatic fistulas were performed by radiological techniques. Pulmonary shunting can produce severe neurologic complications. The disease is hereditary and progressive. Follow-up of treated patients and family screening are recommended.
