Arteriovenous fistula of pulmonary vessels - what does this mean
An arteriovenous fistula of pulmonary vessels occurs when an abnormal connection forms between the pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein, allowing blood to bypass the capillaries and flow directly from the artery to the vein. this can lead to an increase in pulmonary blood pressure, which can cause pulmonary edema, heart failure, and other serious complications.
What happens during the disease - arteriovenous fistula of pulmonary vessels
Arteriovenous fistula of pulmonary vessels is a rare congenital malformation in which there is an abnormal communication between the pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein. this condition is caused by a defect in the development of the pulmonary vessels, leading to an abnormal connection between the two vessels. this can cause abnormal blood flow and increased pressure in the pulmonary vessels, leading to heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, and other complications.

Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: To reduce the symptoms and complications associated with an arteriovenous fistula of pulmonary vessels.
- Administering medications to reduce the risk of bleeding and reduce the pressure in the pulmonary arteries.
- Using interventional radiology techniques to close the fistula.
- Performing surgery to close the fistula.
- Performing a pulmonary angiogram to assess the fistula.
- Performing a pulmonary angioplasty to reduce the pressure in the pulmonary arteries.
- Performing an ultrasound to assess the size and location of the fistula.
- Performing a cardiac catheterization to assess the pressure in the pulmonary arteries.
- Providing patient education about the disease and its treatment.
- Monitoring the patient for any signs of complications.
14 Days of Hospitalization Required
