Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare vascular anomalies that present complex diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, particularly in uncommon locations such as the lower extremities. A 72-year-old female with chronic atrial fibrillation, hypertension, and peripheral vascular disease presented with severe lower extremity edema due to multiple AVMs below the knee. This case underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary, individualized approach in managing complex AVMs and highlights the need for advanced imaging and diverse interventional techniques to ensure effective treatment and long-term outcomes.
动静脉畸形(AVM)是罕见的血管异常,带来复杂的诊断和治疗挑战,尤其是在下肢等不常见部位。一名72岁女性,患有慢性房颤、高血压和外周血管疾病,因膝下多处动静脉畸形出现严重下肢水肿。该病例强调了多学科、个体化方法在处理复杂动静脉畸形中的重要性,并突出了先进成像和多样介入技术对于确保有效治疗和长期预后的必要性。
