Diagnosis and endovascular management of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations
Br J Radiol. 2021 May 26:20200695. doi: 10.1259/bjr.20200695. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVM) are abnormal communication of a branch of the pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein circumventing the intervening pulmonary capillaries. This results in a right-to-left (R-L) shunt and its related manifestations, which include hampered gas exchange leading to hypoxaemia, dyspnoea, paradoxical emboli leading to stroke, cerebral abscess, myocardial infarction and pulmonary haemorrhage due to rupture of the PAVM. Endovascular transcatheter embolization of the feeding vessels with coils or occl...

Predictors of Outcome in Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Patients Clinical Sciences
Background and Purpose—The mortality and morbidity after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage has improved because of better diagnosis, early treatment to secure the aneurysm, and better management of disease-specific complications. With these improvements in care, it is not clear if the previously identified independent predictors of a negative outcome have changed. The aim of this study was to identify the independent predictors of an unfavorable outcome (Glasgow Outcome Score 1, 2, and 3) in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients.Methods—Univariate and multivariate analysis of prospectively collected data on pati...
