(A) Schematic demonstrating anchor coil technique to decrease the risk of distal migration of coils (reproduced with permission from White11) (B) A right lower lobe PAVM with a 3-mm feeding artery (arrow). (C) After deploying the first 2 cm of a 4-mm Nestor anchoring coil in a side branch, three additional coils were deployed safely. PAVM, pulmonary arteriovenous malformation.

(A) Schematic demonstrating scaffold technique to decrease the risk of distal migration of coils (reproduced with permission from White11). (B) A right upper lobe PAVM with an 8-mm feeding artery (arrow). (C) A 10 mm × 26 cm stainless steel framing coil was deployed close to the aneurysm sac but within the feeding artery. (D) After deploying the framing coil, four additional coils were placed to tightly pack the matrix and achieve cross-sectional occlusion of the feeding artery. PAVM, pulmonary arteriovenous malformation.

(A) Right upper lobe PAVM with 5-mm feeding artery (black arrow) and large draining vein (white arrow). (B) Successful negotiation of a 5-Fr guiding catheter into the distal feeding artery. The large draining vein is seen. (C) A 6-mm Amplatzer II vascular plug (arrow) was deployed close to the aneurysm sac but within the feeding artery. (D) After deploying the Amplatzer plug, five 5 mm × 5 cm coils were placed behind the plug to achieve cross-sectional occlusion of the feeding artery. PAVM, pulmonary arteriovenous malformation.
