Abstract:
Pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas are a frequent complication after a Kawashima procedure. We present a 15-year-old patient with a significant left pulmonary arteriovenous fistula managed via embolisation using three Micro Vascular Plugs. This technique achieved effective occlusion through the left internal jugular vein, since these are low-profile flexible devices that accommodate through an acute angle without long and stiff sheath.
