Pulmonary arteriovenous fistula

T Hammelbo, H Rostad

    Scandinavian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery
    |January 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Congenital pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas are rare vascular malformations. Surgical removal (lobectomy) effectively treated two patients with this condition, resolving symptoms like cyanosis and dyspnea.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Pediatric Medicine

    Background:

    • Congenital pulmonary arteriovenous fistula (PAVF) is a rare vascular anomaly.
    • PAVF can lead to significant cardiopulmonary complications.
    • Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for favorable outcomes.

    Observation:

    • Two pediatric patients presented with cyanosis, digital clubbing, and exertional dyspnea.
    • Clinical presentation suggested potential right-to-left shunting.
    • Symptoms indicated significant cardiopulmonary compromise.

    Findings:

    • Diagnostic cardiac catheterization and pulmonary angiography confirmed solitary PAVF in both patients.
    • Surgical intervention via lobectomy was performed.
    • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of arteriovenous malformation.

    Implications:

    • Lobectomy is an effective treatment for congenital pulmonary arteriovenous fistula.
    • Surgical correction leads to complete resolution of symptoms.
    • Patients can achieve normal laboratory values post-surgery, indicating successful treatment.
