Case report demonstrates successful closure of recurrent pulmonary arteriovenous malformations via transseptal plug placement, suggesting an effective alternative approach.
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) may manifest with bleeding or embolic events necessitating intervention. Transcatheter coil embolization through the pulmonary artery (PA) is an established approach. We present a case of recurrent PAVMs despite numerous PA coil embolizations. PAVM occlusion was achieved through plug placement by a transseptal and pulmonary venous approach. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
