Pulmonary AVM Embolization: A Day Care Procedure

Welcome to our video presentation on pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (AVM) embolization, led by Dr. Sandeep Sharma at IR Facilities. In this presentation, we will demonstrate in detail the procedure of depositing coils in pulmonary AV fistulas to occlude the abnormal vessel connections and effectively treat the disease, all on a daycare basis.

Pulmonary AVMs are abnormal connections between the pulmonary arteries and veins, which can lead to serious complications such as stroke, brain abscess, and heart failure. Embolization, a minimally invasive procedure, is a highly effective treatment option for these patients.

During the procedure, Dr. Sharma will guide you through each step, from accessing the pulmonary vasculature to navigating the catheter to the site of the AV fistula. The abnormal vessels will be visualized using fluoroscopy and contrast dye, allowing precise placement of embolization coils.

Watch closely as Dr. Sharma demonstrates the technique of deploying coils strategically within the AV fistula, effectively blocking blood flow and preventing further complications. The use of coils ensures targeted occlusion while preserving surrounding healthy tissue.

One of the key advantages of this approach is its suitability for daycare treatment, allowing patients to undergo the procedure and return home on the same day. This minimizes hospital stays and promotes faster recovery, improving overall patient experience and satisfaction.

We hope this video provides valuable insights into the pulmonary AVM embolization procedure and its benefits for patients. Thank you for joining us, and we invite you to learn more about our innovative treatments at IRFACILITIES
