Intrapleural haemorrhage complicating pulmonary arteriovenous fistula.
Publication/Presentation Date
4-1-1978
Abstract
Rupture of a pulmonary arteriovenous fistula caused intrapleural haemorrhage in a young woman with hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia and multiple bilateral fistulas. Bleeding was limited and exsanguination was probably prevented by pleural adhesions. Treatment included decortication, excision of the bleeding fistula, and prophylactic sclerosis of the opposite pleural space.
