Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia causing high output cardiac failure: treatment with transcatheter embolization.
We report a case of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia complicated by high output heart failure caused by intrahepatic arteriovenous malformations. This patient was treated using transcatheter embolization of the intrahepatic arteriovenous malformations with concurrent measurement of cardiac output to monitor progress of the embolization.
