Pulmonary artery fistulas may occur as isolated lesions or as part of the complex of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. Surgical resection is generally advised because of the potential for severe complications; however, this may be difficult in diffuse telangiectasia or contraindicated in patients with severe obstructive lung disease. This article offers therapeutic embolization as an effective alternative in such patients, and presents a successful experience.
肺动脉瘘可作为孤立性病变出现，或作为遗传性出血性毛细血管扩张症综合征的一部分。由于存在严重并发症的可能性，通常建议进行手术切除；然而，对于弥漫性毛细血管扩张症患者，手术可能困难，而对于严重阻塞性肺疾病患者，手术则属禁忌。本文提供了治疗性栓塞作为这类患者的有效替代方法，并介绍了一次成功经验。
