title: [Catheter embolization of the solitary pulmonary arteriovenous aneurysm].
abstract: Catheter embolization with coils was performed as a method of treatment in 3 patients with solitary pulmonary arteriovenous aneurysms (PAVA). This led to permanent occlusion of the PAVA in all cases. There were no complications following embolization. Bearing in mind that other workers also achieved good results by this method, embolization of a solitary PAVA by coils should be preferred to balloon embolization. Surgical treatment should only be carried out for a malformation which is not accessible to embolization or as part of a more complex procedure.
