[Embolization of multiple pulmonary arteriovenous fistula in a case of Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome with brain abscess]
Abstract
A forty-year-old woman who developed brain abscess was found to Rendu-Osler-weber syndrome with multiple arteriovenous fistulas of the left lung. Therapeutic embolization of pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas was performed for the prevention against brain abscess and improvement of hypoxia.
