[A case of pulmonary arteriovenous fistula treated by subsegmentectomy with CUSA].
A 35-year-old female who had no symptom was admitted to our hospital because of an abnormal shadow in the middle area of the right lung in a chest X-ray film. The chest tomography, CT and the angiography revealed a pulmonary arteriovenous fistula. It located in the right upper lobe, and was successfully resected by subsegmentectomy of S3b using CUSA. The results indicated that the CUSA was useful in the surgical treatment of the pulmonary arteriovenous fistula which had many vascular anastomoses.
