Techniques in vascular and interventional radiology are adapted to the ever-evolving clinical challenges that interventional operators face. In the case of rare diseases, supporting literature that guides an operator's plan for intervention is limited. As a result, published case reports and series can be utilized to direct future intervention and potentially help others tasked with similar clinical scenarios. The proceeding case offers an interventional solution to a clinical manifestation of an otherwise rare disease, Osler-Weber-Rendu (OWR) syndrome. The supporting literature for techniques in embolization of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in OWR syndrome is limited due to disease rarity. Therefore, the objective of the following case is to offer clinical insights on how to perform this procedure successfully and critique methods previously utilized.
血管与介入放射学技术是为适应介入操作人员所面临的不断演变的临床挑战而发展的。对于罕见疾病,指导操作人员制定干预计划的相关文献有限。因此,已发表的病例报告和系列病例可用于指导未来的干预,并可能帮助其他面临类似临床情况的人员。以下病例提供了一种针对罕见疾病——遗传性出血性毛细血管扩张症(OWR)综合征临床表现的介入治疗方案。由于该疾病罕见,关于OWR综合征中肺动静脉畸形(AVM)栓塞技术的支持文献有限。因此,本病例的目的是提供关于如何成功实施该手术的临床见解,并对先前使用的方法进行评论。
