Radiol Case Rep 2024; 19:3170-3175. [PMID: 38779197 PMCID: PMC11109301 DOI: 10.1016/j.radcr.2024.04.070] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2024] [Revised: 04/21/2024] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations, previously considered a rare condition, have been increasingly identified in asymptomatic patients over the past 2 decades. Usually congenital and associated with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, these fistulae result in right-to-left shunting of blood by abnormal communication of pulmonary arteries and veins lacking capillary beds. Clinical findings of right-to-left shunting in the presence of feeding and draining vessels identified on imaging confirm the diagnosis, for which the first-line therapy is embolization. This report highlights the presentation and management of a large asymptomatic PAVM detected incidentally in a patient who was lost to follow-up for 10 years and represented with acute hypoxic respiratory failure secondary to a viral infection with an interval increase of PAVM size.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the safety and efficacy of microballoon-occluded transcatheter embolization using n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) in patients with a single pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM). METHODS From November 2017 to November 2020, this retrospective study included 38 previously untreated patients with a single PAVM who underwent microballoon-occluded transcatheter embolization using NBCA. All 38 patients had follow-up that included simple chest radiography and contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography (CT). RESULTS A microballoon was successfully placed in a feeding artery of the PAVM to control the delivery of the NBCA cast in all 38 patients, with complete embolization of sacs and the feeding artery achieved in all cases. The mean diameters of the feeding artery, sac, and draining vein were 3.9 ± 0.9 mm, 7.5 ± 2.6 mm, and 4.6 ± 1.3 mm, respectively. A fixed 1:2 NBCA/Lipiodol ratio was used, and the mean amount of embolic mixture per patient was 1.4 mL (range 0.6-2.2 mL). There were no complications related to microballoon adhesion and non-target embolization of the systemic circulation. Follow-up CT in all 38 patients with a mean delay of 34.5 ± 8.8 months (range 20.7-56.5 months) showed no continued perfusion of the PAVM. CONCLUSION In our hands, microballoon-occluded n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate embolization seemed to be safe and appeared to be clinically effective in patients with simple and complex types of single PAVM. Therefore, the present technique has the potential to become a standard treatment for a single PAVM.

Abstract
Pulmonary arteriovenous fistula (PAVF) is a rare congenital vascular malformation primarily manifested as dyspnea, migraine, ischemic stroke, hemoptysis, and nervous system complications. However, in our case, an 18-year-old male patient with PAVF presented with sudden onset of ventricular tachycardia and type 2 acute myocardial infarction as initial symptoms. A diagnosis was achieved through pulmonary artery computer tomography angiography (CTA) and three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) reconstruction, revealing a complex and giant PAVF. Following multidisciplinary team (MDT) consultation, the patient underwent thoracoscopic surgery and experienced a successful recovery during follow-up.

Abstract
Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is an anomaly of blood vessel formation. Numerous models have been established to understand the nature of AVM. These models have limitations in terms of the diameter of the vessels used and the impact on the circulatory system. Our goal was to establish an AVM model that does not cause prompt and significant hemodynamic and cardiac alterations but is feasible for follow-up of the AVM's progression. Sixteen female rats were randomly divided into sham-operated and AVM groups. In the AVM group, the saphenous vein and artery were interconnected using microsurgical techniques. The animals were followed up for 12 weeks. Anastomosis patency and the structural and hemodynamic changes of the heart were monitored. The hearts and vessels were histologically analyzed. During the follow-up period, shunts remained unobstructed. Systolic, diastolic, mean arterial pressure, and heart rate values slightly and non-significantly decreased in the AVM group. Echocardiogram results indicated minor systolic function impact, with slight and insignificant changes in aortic pressure and blood velocity, and minimal left ventricular wall enlargement. The small-caliber saphenous AVM model does not cause acute hemodynamic changes. Moderate but progressive alterations and venous dilatation confirmed AVM-like features. The model seems to be suitable for studying further the progression, enlargement, or destabilization of AVM.

Abstract
Based on the latest classification by the International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies in 2018, vascular malformations (VMs) can be categorized into simple, combined VMs of major named vessels, and VMs associated with other anomalies. Simple VMs include lymphatic, venous, capillary, and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). AVMs represent disorders of direct arteriovenous shunts caused by the absence of a capillary bed between the involved arteries and veins. This abnormal vascular communication causes arterial blood to accumulate in the venous vessels, thus resulting in venous hypertension and characteristic clinical manifestations, such as pulsation, tremors, and elevated temperature. AVMs can occur sporadically or as manifestations of syndromic lesions and are considered among the most complex and challenging VMs. The diagnosis and treatment of AVMs can vary depending on the lesion location and associated clinical symptoms, thus complicating their management. Herein, we discuss peripheral AVMs in terms of their clinical manifestations, imaging examinations, and staging systems to provide a comprehensive reference for the treatment, evaluation methods, and follow-up procedures for this vascular anomaly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM) is an abnormal communication between pulmonary vasculatures and has an unclear boundary with surrounding lung tissues. At present, surgeons can only determine its location by preoperative imaging and intraoperative palpation, despite its soft texture. Indocyanine green(ICG), a near-infrared fluorophore, has been demonstrated useful in the accurate identification of vascular tissue. Therefore, we explored its application in PAVM cases. CASE PRESENTATION We present two PAVM cases using near-infrared fluorescence (NIF) with 25 mg ICG at 5 mg/ml to achieve intraoperative visualization of the lesion in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Under the NIF mode, ICG systemic injection led to successive signaling of the anomaly and normal tissues in merely 10 s, which helped us distinguish them efficiently and precisely. A peak signal-to-background ratio of 2.2 confirmed the significant fluorescence difference and excluded interference from carbon dust. CONCLUSIONS We are the first to report the use of such an approach in delineating the margin of vascular malformation with high contrast, and this new finding may help minimize the damage to lung function in PAVM treatment. Further exploration and validation are needed to determine its role.

Abstract
The International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies (ISSVA) classification is a comprehensive histology-based scheme that was updated in 2018. It is important for cardiothoracic imagers to understand this classification to ensure that accurate terminology is used and that archaic terms are avoided when vascular lesions are described. Knowledge of the various malformations (including common conditions, such as venous malformation, arteriovenous fistula, and arteriovenous malformation) and vascular tumors allows for timely diagnosis and appropriate management. This review describes various vascular anomalies, in accordance with ISSVA classification and terminology; highlights key imaging features associated with each; and discusses the role of different imaging modalities.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of shared decision-making (SDM) with a patient decision aid (PtDA) on hemostasis device selection and reduction of decisional conflicts in patients undergoing transfemoral angiography. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients undergoing angiography were randomized to receive either a standard explanation or the process aid of PtDA for choosing hemostasis devices. The decisional conflict was assessed using the 4-item Sure of myself; Understand information; Risk-benefit ratio; Encouragement (SURE) scale. Differences in demographic variables, clinical variables, and final choice of hemostasis devices were compared via univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. RESULTS In total, 158 patients were included-80 in the PtDA group and 78 in the standard group. No difference was found between the 2 groups in terms of patient demographic and clinical variables. The PtDA group scored better on all questions of the SURE scale both individually and collaboratively (P <.001). PtDA intervention (P =.031) and reason for angiography (P =.0006) were the main variables that influenced patient hemostasis device choice in the univariate logistic regression analysis. Reason for angiography remained the only deciding factor that affected patient choice in the multivariate logistic regression analysis (P =.015). CONCLUSIONS Step-by-step guidance and pictorial explanation with the assistance of PtDA led to improvements in patient knowledge but showed no significant impact in multivariate analysis for the influence on the choice of hemostasis device.

Abstract
Embolization in pediatric patients encompasses a large spectrum of indications, ranging from the elective treatment of congenital diseases of the cardiovascular system to the urgent management of acute hemorrhagic conditions. In particular, the endovascular treatment of central and peripheral vascular malformations and hypervascular tumors represents a wide chapter for both congenital and acquired situations. Thanks to the progressive availability of low-profile endovascular devices and new embolic materials, the mini-invasive approach has gradually overtaken surgery. In this review, the main embolization procedures will be illustrated and discussed, with a focus on clinical indications and expected outcomes. The most recent mini-invasive techniques will be described, with hints on the cutting-edge devices and embolic materials.
