Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations: diagnosis and transcatheter embolotherapy

Abstract

The recent long-term studies from England, France, and the Netherlands, as well as our own, indicate that transcatheter embolotherapy is definitive treatment for PAVM. More recently, Puskas et al have questioned transcatheter embolotherapy as a primary treatment for patients with PAVM (4,56). Their opinion was based on two recurrences among five patients treated with transcatheter embolotherapy. It is not clear why one of the late recurrences in the series by Puskas et al happened, and the other recurrence could have been dut to early deflation of the balloon. Nevertheless, we believe that the collective experience in the larger series reporting on transcatheter embolotherapy of PAVM supports the use of embolotherapy as a primary modality of treatment. Because many patients have bilateral pulmonary malformations and many pulmonary malformations will grow with time, repeated surgical intervention is not ideal therapy. The recurrence rate of 8% reported by Remy et al using coils, and 2% reported by Pollak et al using balloons and coils supports our contention that transcatheter embolotherapy is durable and should be the initial treatment. Also, recurrences are easily retreated by transcatheter embolotherapy with durable results (...Continue Reading

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
