Multiple, bilateral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) of the lung are diagnostically and therapeutically challenging. In staged procedures over seven days, a 19-year-old woman underwent blocking of the feeding artery to six moderate-sized AVMs in the left lower lobe, embolization of three more AVMs in the left lower lobe, and resection of a large AVM in the right lower lobe through a right-sided thoracotomy. These procedures preserved maximal lung tissue, and one year later the patient is essentially symptom free.
