Resumo

As malformações arteriovenosas pulmonares (MAVP) estão associadas a telangiectasia hemorrágica hereditária em cerca de 70% dos casos, podendo cursar com complicações neurológicas graves decorrentes do em-bolismo paradoxal potencial. A terapêutica das malformações é realizada no sentido de prevenir estas complicações.

Descreve-se o caso clínico de uma doente com duas MAVP, no contexto de telangiectasia hemorrágica hereditária, submetida a embolização com o rolhão vascular Amplatzer. Este novo dispositivo é cada vez mais utilizado nestas situações, salientando-se algumas das suas características e vantagens em relação a outras técnicas de embolização mais frequentemente utiliza-das.

Abstract

Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) are associated to hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia in about 70% of the cases. PAVMs are associated to serious neurologic complications, secondary to inherent paradoxical embolisms. Treatment of the malformations is done to prevent these complications.

The authors report a clinical case of a patient with two PAVMs, with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, who was treated by embolization with an Amplatzer vascular plug, a new device increasingly used in these situations. The authors emphasise some of its characteristics and advantages when compared with other embolization techniques most commonly used.
