Pulmonary arteriovenous fistula (PAVF) is a rare congenital vascular malformation primarily manifested as dyspnea, migraine, ischemic stroke, hemoptysis, and nervous system complications. However, in our case, an 18-year-old male patient with PAVF presented with sudden onset of ventricular tachycardia and type 2 acute myocardial infarction as initial symptoms. A diagnosis was achieved through pulmonary artery computer tomography angiography (CTA) and three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) reconstruction, revealing a complex and giant PAVF. Following multidisciplinary team (MDT) consultation, the patient underwent thoracoscopic surgery and experienced a successful recovery during follow-up.
肺动静脉瘘(PAVF)是一种罕见的先天性血管畸形,主要表现为呼吸困难、偏头痛、缺血性中风、咯血和神经系统并发症。然而,在我们的病例中,一名患有PAVF的18岁男性患者最初表现为突发室性心动过速和2型急性心肌梗死。通过肺动脉计算机断层扫描血管造影(CTA)和三维(3D)计算机断层扫描(CT)重建得以确诊,显示为一个复杂的巨大肺动静脉瘘。经过多学科团队(MDT)会诊后,患者接受了胸腔镜手术,随访期间恢复良好。
