Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformation AVM Closure

Pulmonary Closure Treatment in Yeshwanthpur

Pulmonary artery vascular malformations (PAVMs) are rare lung problems. In PAVMs, wide vessels create a shortcut from the pulmonary artery to the pulmonary vein, letting blood move from the right to the left side of the lung. These are like direct, fast connections between the arteries and veins in the lungs, disturbing the blood flow within the lungs. When arteries and veins have irregular connections like these, it can result in the mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood, which is risky. To fix this, doctors do a minimally invasive procedure. 

How to Treat PAVM? 

Resolving these disorders and cutting off the aberrant connections in the lungs is critical to preventing diseases such as stroke. Embolisation is the primary and most successful treatment used by professionals to address PAVM.

The Procedure

The following are the steps involved in the procedure of Embolisation

  • A special dye and X-rays are used to locate the issue during the surgery, which begins with the surgeons inserting a catheter via blood arteries from the groin to the lungs.

  • When the issue is identified, the catheter is used to insert coils or plugs to block it and restore normal blood flow. 

  • Embolisation is a low-risk, effective, and safe technique. 

  • The type of treatment chosen is specific to each patient and is based on the location and extent of the issue.
