title: Transcatheter occlusion of large pulmonary arteriovenous malformations using multiple devices in a neonate.
abstract: Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) are usually well-tolerated hemodynamically. Rarely, they cause severe neonatal cyanosis, requiring urgent treatment. We report the use of multiple transcatheter vascular occlusion devices to reduce right-to-left shunting in a neonate with multiple, large PAVMs.
