ABSTRACT

Acquired pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVM) in adults are a rare finding. Its etiology is related to pneumopathies, infections or parasitosis. Its presence is associated with complications such as hemorrhage, endocarditis, embolism. We present the case of an PAVM observed in an elderly person that was successfully closed with a percutaneous device.
