Twenty-Seven-Year Retrospective Review of Hemoptysis from Systemic Collaterals Following Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformation Embolization

In this limited series, embolization with gelatin sponge slurry appeared safe, although surgical resection may ultimately be required in refractory and multifocal disease.
