| Abstrakt: | A 44-year-old male presented with left upper extremity and shoulder pain with worsening functional impairment after years of repetitive use, overtraining, and multiple injuries from weightlifting and mixed martial arts. Imaging showed no obvious injury or ligamentous deformity other than mild osteoarthritis (OA) of the left glenohumeral joint. Duplex ultrasonography (US) revealed four arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) surrounding the shoulder joint and left upper extremity. The vasculature was mapped via angiography through a transradial approach. Initial treatment included transarterial embolization of two AVMs off the axillary artery and branching anterior circumflex humeral artery. Secondary treatment included embolization of two lesions months later via direct puncture, one through a transvenous approach and the second through direct transmalformation cannulation, via the nidus, near the clavicle and posterior scapular lateral border. Treatment resulted in significant improvement in pain and range of motion. Follow-up assessments revealed improvement in overall symptoms, recovered function, and return to exercise and competitive mixed martial arts. This case highlights the value of duplex ultrasonography, embolization, and transarterial and transvenous approaches for the treatment of AVM-associated extremity or joint pain.
