Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformations: Effect of Embolization on Right-to-Left Shunt, Hypoxemia, and Exercise Tolerance in 66 Patients

Abstract

Coil embolization of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations is effective in reducing right-to-left anatomic shunt fraction and in improving arterial oxygenation. Coil embolization of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations is well tolerated and has a low complication rate.
