Abstract

Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) cause significant clinical complications, such as transient ischemic attack, stroke, and brain abscess. Nowadays, transcatheter embolization plays an important role in the treatment of PAVM. However, persistence can occur after transcatheter embolization for PAVM. Here, we review the current embolization technique, embolic material, and subsequent management.
