Paradoxical embolism resulting in cryptogenic stroke has received much attention recently, with the primary focus on patent foramen ovale (PFO). However, it is essential to be vigilant in the search for other causes of paradoxical embolic events, such as pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVM). We describe successful closure of pulmonary AVM with a St Jude Medical (Plymouth, MN) Amplatzer™ vascular plug IV. The newer AVP-IV devices can be used for successful embolization of tortuous pulmonary AVM in remote locations where use of other traditional devices may be technically challenging.
矛盾性栓塞导致的隐源性卒中最近备受关注，主要焦点在于卵圆孔未闭（PFO）。然而，在寻找矛盾性栓塞事件的其他原因时保持警惕至关重要，比如肺动静脉畸形（PAVM）。我们描述了使用圣犹达医疗公司（明尼苏达州普利茅斯）的Amplatzer™血管塞IV成功封堵肺动静脉畸形的情况。新型AVP-IV装置可用于在其他传统装置使用可能面临技术挑战的偏远位置成功栓塞迂曲的肺动静脉畸形。
