Retrograde Transseptal Pulmonary Vein Transcatheter Plug Closure for Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformation.

ABSTRACT: Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) may manifest with bleeding or embolic events necessitating intervention. Transcatheter coil embolization through the pulmonary artery (PA) is an established approach. We present a case of recurrent PAVMs despite numerous PA coil embolizations. PAVM occlusion was achieved through plug placement by a transseptal and pulmonary venous approach. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).
