Abstract Background Pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM) is abnormal arteriovenous shunts between pulmonary artery (PA) and pulmonary vein, and rarely has congenital direct communications with systemic arteries. Case Presentation A 33-year-old male presented to our hospital with intermittent bloody sputum with no evidence of pulmonary infection, trauma or surgery. Chest computed tomography angiography (CTA) indicated the congenital inferior phrenic artery (IPA)-to-PAVM surrounded by diffuse alveolar hemorrhage located in the lower lobe of right lung. Both the afferent PA and IPA were successfully embolized with coils. Recurrent hemoptysis did not occur during one-year follow up. Conclusions The congenital communication between IPA and PAVM is rare, and the abnormal direct shunt would induce hemodynamically unstable condition within PAVM. Endovascular embolization of the afferent PA and IPA is a safe and effective method for this abnormal congenital shunt in lung. |
