Özet

Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVM) are abnormal connections between the pulmonary arterial system and the pulmonary veins. PAVMs, which are twice as common in women, are generally seen in 4-6 decades. It is thought that congenital origin, previous thoracic traumas and thoracic surgery, liver cirrhosis, mitral stenosis and infections are among the etiological reasons in PAVM.
